An area of high pressure that typically promotes calm weather will actually spell trouble for parts of California the rest of this weekend.
The high will be the culprit behind dense fog returning to the state's Central Valley, as well as another Santa Ana wind event over Southern California.
Both dangers will develop tonight and persist into Sunday, especially the first part of the day.
The winds will gust between 45 and 65 mph with those highest gusts set to be recorded in the mountains.
As is typical during any Santa Ana wind event, the strongest winds will howl across the mountains and through and below northeast-southwest oriented passes and canyons. Oxnard will turn windy, but not Downtown Los Angeles and San Diego.
The strength of the winds tonight into Sunday could down trees, power lines and road signs. Unsecured parts of buildings and lawn items may sustain damage.
The winds also threaten to overturn or steer semi-trucks and campers off roadways. This danger pertains to those motorists planning to travel out of Interstate 15's Cajon Pass towards Los Angeles.
As was the case earlier this week, a high fire danger will not accompany this Santa Ana wind event. The region's soil and vegetation remain moist from December's onslaught of torrential rain.

You wanna BET they don’t blow TO Santa Ana???
Huh?
You wanna BET??
(Have I mentioned my feelings about these winds before?)
Gonna be abnormally cold tonight in Northern Minnesota, North Dakota and Florida. Sunday night through Monday New York and Main gets clobbered with cold. Followed by a possible Blizzard a couple of days later. Think I can put up with a little wind here in So Cal :>
No, but they blow down the santa ana canyon. It’s Santa Ana.

Oh,...that pup tugs at the heart...I like Dogs.
Shutting down...got to watch the Clippers and that Boy from Oklahoma...almost Home country.
I hate wind too, but here in the High Sierra of California 45 to 60 mph winds are the norm. We have 60 to 80 mph winds over the ridge tops, day-in and day-out 7 days a week, 365 days a year. These winds often exceed 100 mph.
The Muzzies love to set the forests in Israel on fire and they do it here, too.
