Impacts of Sundowner winds include power outages and enhanced fire weather concerns.

A fast moving upper trough will help enhance winds and they will persist through Monday evening for Santa Barbara County.

Temperatures will be several degrees cooler on Monday due to the passing trough and gusty winds.
