A PDS Santa Ana Wind Warning is issued when strong winds are expected out of the northerly direction above a level 6 in the prone zones. One thing to note is this is a north wind event so more wind will hit Norco/Corona/Ontario than it would Banning. Banning would need an east wind. This northerly wind is due to upper support from a storm missing to the northeast. Winds will start in the desert areas later today, followed by below passes and canyons after 11pm tonight. The winds will be the strongest early Thursday morning before waning in the afternoon.
STORM PATTERN: We did see such events like this in October and November this season. Each event was followed by a storm pattern. This is not always the case, however, this year’s pattern has been just that. Long periods of 3-4 weeks without a storm, and a strong Santa Ana Wind Event just before one. The storm pattern coming up is going to center the first week of March as a system missing on February 28th would pull in the system a few days later.

I control 10 counties in Southern California so there is a lot to say for various areas. The best I can do is let the images below speak for themselves. They are separated into 1 row of six. Four zones that I control. If you are in Southern California, you are in one of these. Each is identical so zone 1 is the same on all the rows and so on. Image 5 is Cajon Pass, and Image 6 is the SCV area. Here is the key to the rows below. They are extremely detailed.
NOTE: To control the maps, one must be a SCWF Facebook website member, which is like getting me a soda each month from you. You also get e-mailed alerts/articles because if you do not want to miss my social media posts, and/or I issue a product not on my social media accounts, being a supporting website member is the way to go.
