The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for the Los Angeles County coast, including the South Bay, on Sunday.
The advisory, which is issued when wind speeds are expected to exceed 35 mph, began at 3 a.m. Monday and will continue through 3 a.m. Tuesday, according to the NWS.
The weather service predicts northeast winds of 15-25 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph in the morning; however, by afternoon, wind speeds will increase to 20-30 mph, with gusts up to 45 mph. The winds will gradually diminish Monday night.
