Wind Advisory issued June 9 at 5:38AM PDT until June 10 at 7:00AM PDT by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA

The National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard has issued a Wind Advisory for the Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast and the Santa Ynez Mountains Western Range, effective from early Tuesday morning through Wednesday morning. Gusty northwest winds of 25 to 35 mph, with isolated gusts up to 50 mph, are expected—especially in the mountains and along the coast. If you're heading out on Highway 101 or into the backcountry, keep both hands on the wheel and watch for sudden gusts that can push your car or stir up dust. Secure any loose outdoor furniture or trash bins before the winds pick up.

This advisory comes from KEYT News Channel 3-12 and runs until 7 a.m. Wednesday. For our community, these winds can create hazardous driving conditions for high-profile vehicles and raise the risk of downed tree limbs or power lines. It's a good reminder to stay weather-aware through the night, especially if you live near the Gaviota Coast or in the foothills. Let's look out for each other and keep the Central Coast safe through this breezy spell.
