Strong and potentially damaging winds are expected to blast Southern California on Monday and Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service. A high wind warning means that damaging winds of 58 mph or greater are likely and a wind advisory indicates that winds or gusts of 35 mph are anticipated. Forecasters say the winds are the result of a dry cold front that is passing through the region, creating gusty winds in the mountains, valley and coastal areas. In the Antelope Valley, the strongest winds are expected in the western region of the valley and foothills. Kern County may see wind gusts of up to 75 mph at times late in the afternoon.
