Gusts up to 70 mph Wednesday are forecast for the Bay Area in "a potentially damaging and prolonged wind storm," the National Weather Service
The high-wind warning issued by the weather agency says the strongest winds will be in the hills above 1,000 feet; sustained winds of 20 to 40 mph with frequent gusts over 50 mph are expected through most of the Bay Area. The warning is in effect from 6 a.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday.
Even fiercer winds are expected in Southern California, with northeast gusts to 80 mph in the mountain passes. Weather service forecasters are calling it a possible 5- to 10-year Santa Ana wind event in the Los Angeles area, the Associated Press reported.
The weather service warns that driving will be treacherous for big rigs and other high-profile vehicles. Other hazards, it says, include blowing debris, downed tree branches and possible power outages. Furthermore, it says, "any loose objects not tied down will blow around."
