The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory for the San Bernardino mountains, meaning that winds of 35 miles per hour are expected today. This Wind Advisory remains in effect until 2pm this afternoon, and may make driving difficult, especially for those in high profile vehicles. Motorists are advised to use extra caution, and watch for downed power lines and tree limbs during today’s wind event. With storms anticipated in the Big Bear Valley as early as Sunday, travelers are reminded to carry snow chains when traveling in the mountains during the winter months.
