A windstorm is forecast to bring strong and possibly damaging winds to the western US, starting the weekend.
Over 30 million people are under wind alerts across portions of California, Nevada, and far western Arizona and Utah. These alerts include the cities of San Francisco, Sacramento, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles.
Forecast wind models "show a high probability of an unusually strong January wind event tonight," the National Weather Service (NWS) office in San Francisco said on Friday morning. Winds across the region could reach 20 to 35 mph, and wind gusts in some areas could reach up to hurricane-force (75 mph).
