Santa Ana Winds Expected To Diminish In Santa Clarita Weather Forecast
Santa Ana Winds are expected to start diminishing in the Santa Clarita weather forecast Wednesday resulting in electricity returning to residents.
Winds are expected to peak Wednesday morning but are predicted to start diminishing by the afternoon, said Rich Thompson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
“We are definitely having less wind today than yesterday,” Thompson said.
Through Wednesday morning, conditions are expected to be gusty, with wind gusts predicted to be 25 to 40 mph, according to Thompson.
By Wednesday evening into Thursday morning, gusty winds are set to expire, according to officials.
The developer of the first major U.S. offshore wind farm said on Wednesday it will soon apply for a federal permit from President Joe Biden's administration, after former President Donald Trump's government abruptly canceled its initial application last month.
A strong wind event hitting the Central and South Coast has eased, but some people are still without electricity due to precautionary power shutoffs. Red
