Residents in the Indian Wells Valley, Mojave Desert, and Mojave Desert Slopes should exercise caution this morning due to a Wind Advisory issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) in Hanford, CA.

The advisory is in effect until 8:00 AM PDT today, October 12th. Southwest winds are expected to reach 10 to 20 mph, with gusts up to 45 mph.

These strong winds may make driving difficult, particularly for high-profile vehicles. The NWS advises extra caution on highways, including US Highway 395, and State Routes 14, 58, and 178. Unsecured objects may be blown around, and there is a possibility of tree limbs being blown down and isolated power outages. Residents should secure any outdoor items that could be affected by strong winds.
