Winds set to blow in

Wind and some rain are coming to the valley. A news report says: "A powerful storm system dropping out of the Gulf of Alaska is expected to bring strong winds and moisture to the valley, starting Tuesday. “You’ll have all kinds of winds all across the valley,” said Joe Dandrea, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in San Diego. The worst of the winds will hit the valley Tuesday night and continue through Wednesday, he said. Wind speeds will range from 25 to 35 mph, with gusts up to 45 mph. High temperatures will likely be in the low 60s both days. Motorists on Interstate 10 should be alert for blowing sand and reduced visibility.Communities on desert slopes, or near them, could get wind gusts as high as 65-70 mph, he said. The storm is expected to bring snow to the mountains and rain to the valley. Rainfall should be less than a tenth of an inch. Once the storm leaves the area, residents should expect gorgeous views of the mountains." Miss Penny Lane says: She's holding on to her hat.
