A Lake Wind Advisory has been issued for the West Side Mountains north of Highway 198, including San Luis Reservoir, effective immediately until 11:00 PM PDT this evening, October 11.

The National Weather Service (NWS) in Hanford, CA, issued the advisory due to anticipated west winds of 10 to 20 mph, with gusts reaching up to 35 mph. These strong winds are expected to create rough waves on area lakes, posing hazardous conditions for small craft.

Boaters and those planning activities on San Luis Reservoir are advised to exercise extreme caution or consider postponing their plans until the advisory expires. Additionally, winds of this strength can make driving challenging, particularly for high-profile vehicles. Drivers in the affected area should use extra caution while traveling.
