Residents in the Indian Wells Valley, Mojave Desert, and Mojave Desert Slopes should prepare for strong winds. The National Weather Service (NWS) Hanford CA has issued a Wind Advisory effective from 2 PM this afternoon, October 11, until 8 AM PDT Monday, October 12.

Southwest winds of 20 to 30 mph are expected, with gusts potentially reaching up to 50 mph. These conditions can make driving difficult, particularly for high-profile vehicles. The NWS advises using extra caution on the roads.
