No Local Injuries Associated With High Winds

According to Pasadena Public Information Officer Lisa Derderian, the Thursday winds downed several trees, caused some property damage, led to several gas leaks, and power outages.

Pasadena police patrolled the city looking for dangerous and trouble situations.

There were no reports of injuries.

According to a statement by the school district, with the safety of students and staff in mind, Pasadena Unified School District schools planned to use a modified “rainy day” schedule during recess, lunch, and physical education.

The rainy day schedule means the students would not be allowed outdoors.

According to a press release from the school district, “We are monitoring conditions at schools to ensure the safety and well-being of our students and staff.”

John Muir High School was among the sites that experienced a wind-related power outage.

A wind advisory was in effect until 4 p.m. for the San Gabriel Valley, with winds anticipated at 20 to 30 mph, with isolated gusts potentially reaching 55 mph in foothill areas.

The unsettled weather is being accompanied by particularly cold air, meaning the Southland didn’t see the warm temperatures that typically come with a Santa Ana wind event.

Temperatures are expected to begin warming later in the weekend, with highs reaching the upper 70s and low 80s by Monday and Tuesday, forecasters said.
