Residents in Southern California may have their Thanksgivings abruptly interrupted as SoCal Edison issues rolling blackout warnings because of the strong Santa Ana winds whipping through the region.
The winds, produced by high pressure building in the Great Basin, were forecast to strengthen Wednesday night and peak on Thursday, the National Weather Service said. Relative humidity levels will be critically low, ranging from 5% to 15%.
"Winds will really ramp up after midnight and peak through Thursday morning with gusts peaking in the 40 to 55 mph range, with potentially damaging gusts up to 65 mph for adjacent mountains and valleys of western Los Angeles and eastern Ventura counties," the weather service said.
