A strong 150 mph upper jet stream is leaving Southern California with a strong west to east flow.  Recommending today not to travel in the bight (Island Region) as these winds will be gale force or higher.  The Mountain and Desert regions have already started their winds, but they will fast move southward into all metro areas as today moves along.

The Raiden Storm Wind Intensity Models have been released and you may view the information below.  While it may seem no value for LAX is showing up, those that live there will feel as if it is advisory level due to it not being too common.

Winds this afternoon/evening/night through the metros will shift from west to east to a more northwest to southeast approach, which is why coming down I-5 through Los Angeles and into Orange County’s interior will also have these advisory level winds.  It is very possible this will prevent Disneyland from setting off fireworks due to wind direction and speed from the castle.

The winds will wan by Tuesday morning.
