Weather Wednesday: Santa Ana Winds
Santa Ana Winds occur when air from a region of high pressure over the dry, desert region of the southwestern U.S. flows westward towards low pressure located off the California coast. This creates dry winds that flow east to west through the mountain passages in Southern California.
A Santa Ana wind storm with gusts up to 92 mph in some areas is lashing San Diego County, creating a high potential for wildfires in a region where vegetation is drier than it has been in years.
