The NWS warned that the gusty conditions could make travel difficult for drivers of high-profile vehicles. The winds could also blow down tree limbs, potentially causing power outages.

Highs temperatures on Wednesday are expected to be in the mid-60s to mid-70s in coastal areas, the mid-70s to low-80s in the western valleys, the low-70s to low-80s in the mountains and the mid-90s to low-100s in the deserts.
