San Diego County’s mountains and deserts will see strong afternoon winds through Tuesday night, the National Weather Service said in an advisory Sunday.

“Westerly winds of 25 to 35 miles per hour, with gusts from 50 to 55 mph, could occur in the late afternoons through the late evenings,” NWS forecaster Noel Isla said. “This could make driving difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles.

“In the deserts, blowing dust and sand could reduce visibility to near- zero.”

Isla said temperature ranges throughout San Diego County are about average for this time of year.
