A wind advisory is in effect until 3am Saturday for the Santa Barbara County South Coast and Santa Barbara County Mountains. Gusty north winds are expected in south Santa Barbara County and the I-5 corridor. North winds expected to be 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph. Those winds will be strongest in the foothills and mountains and along the coast west of Goleta.

Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects and make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Tree limbs could be blown down which could result in power outages. Use extra caution when driving and secure outdoor objects.

Dry weather is expected the next several days and possibly through the middle of January. Breezy north to northeast winds expected this weekend under clear skies. High temperatures will warm slightly but remain several degrees below normal.
