The windy conditions are expected to persist through Wednesday morning and are also forecast along the south coast and mountains of Santa Barbara County, as well as the Central Coast.
The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for the valleys, the Santa Monica Mountains and the Central Coast. The advisory is in effect Tuesday from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m.Temperatures are expected to be warmest in the western San Gabriel Valley, where they’re forecast to rise above 100 degrees, the NWS said.
