A wind advisory is in effect for parts of San Diego County as an onshore flow brings breezy and cooler weather to San Diego.
The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory until 10 p.m. Monday. During that time, winds from 25 mph to 35 mph and gusts from 45 mph to 55 mph are expected in the San Diego County mountains and the communities of Julian and Pine Valley.
Winds are blowing from the west and are not as dry and hazardous as Santa Ana wind gusts, NBC 7 Meteorologist Sheena Parveen said. The onshore flow was also cooling temperatures for the start of the workweek.
