A strong Santa Ana wind condition is expected to continue through the weekend, prompting a reminder for residents to be prepared. Along with fire danger, wind gusts in excess of 40 mph could cause downed trees and power lines and flying debris, which could lead to power outages, damage to buildings and vehicles.

To enhance the Oso Creek Trail, the City will make asphalt repairs through Friday to a stretch of the trail from Marguerite Parkway to Arbolitos.
