Last night's/morning's event wasn't as widespread as predicted. Hardly
noticed a breeze here in the San Fernando Valley where Wind Advisories were
posted. However, Fremont Canyon still came in with a 76 mph gust. This
offshore flow has been relatively cool, with highs mostly in the 60's. Flow
will still be (gently) offshore by this weekend, and with the atmosphere
generally warming, temps could approach 80. Greetings from sunny Cal.
