Residents in the Coalinga-Avenal area, West Side Mountains South of Highway 198, and Buena Vista should exercise caution due to a Wind Advisory in effect until 11:00 PM PDT tonight, October 11.

The National Weather Service (NWS) in Hanford has issued this advisory, indicating southwest winds between 15 to 25 mph with gusts potentially reaching up to 45 mph. These conditions are expected to impact areas mainly west of Interstate 5.

Gusty winds may blow around unsecured objects. There is also a possibility of tree limbs being blown down, which could lead to isolated power outages.

The NWS advises that winds of this strength can make driving challenging, particularly for high-profile vehicles. Motorists are urged to use extra caution while traveling during this period.
