Las Vegas, NV – A Wind Advisory will bring 50 mph gusts to northwest San Bernardino County, creating driving hazards.
According to the National Weather Service in Las Vegas, westerly to southwesterly winds will increase across the Mojave Desert on Sunday as a weather system approaches the region. Sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph are expected, with gusts reaching up to 50 mph at times.
The advisory remains in effect from Sunday morning through Monday night.
Forecasters say the strongest winds will impact northwestern San Bernardino County, where open desert terrain may allow gusts to intensify. Blowing dust and debris are possible, potentially reducing visibility along desert roadways.
High-profile vehicles, including trucks, vans and RVs, may experience difficult driving conditions, especially on east-west oriented highways. Motorists are urged to use caution and keep both hands on the wheel during sudden gusts.
Residents are advised to secure outdoor furniture, trash bins and other loose objects that could become airborne in strong winds.
The National Weather Service classifies the overall risk level as minor, but localized travel disruptions are possible. Commuters and delivery drivers traveling through the Mojave Desert region Sunday and Monday should monitor conditions and plan for potential slowdowns.
Additional updates will be issued if conditions intensify or advisories are expanded.
