Borrego Springs, CA – Gusty desert winds continue to sweep through San Diego County, prompting a wind advisory in effect through 11 a.m. Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service in San Diego, sustained west winds between 30 and 40 mph, with gusts peaking at 55 mph, are impacting the region, including the city of Borrego Springs. The advisory was issued Friday evening and warns of potential hazards to drivers and outdoor structures.
The strong winds may dislodge unsecured objects, down tree limbs, and contribute to isolated power outages. High-profile vehicles are especially at risk on open desert roads due to crosswinds.
Residents are urged to secure loose outdoor items and exercise caution when traveling. Drivers of trucks, vans, RVs, and other high-sided vehicles should be particularly alert during the advisory window.
This type of wind event is typical for early spring in Southern California’s desert areas but can still cause unexpected disruptions. The advisory is expected to expire by late Saturday morning as conditions gradually improve.
For the latest updates and safety tips, residents should monitor local alerts and follow guidance from emergency services.
