VICTOR VALLEY, Calif. (VVNG.com)-After some fairly hot and clear days, the National Weather Service has issued a warning of strong winds for the Victor Valley.

The Weather Channel said moderate to strong winds are expected on Friday, March 4, and 4:00 pm Saturday, March 5, 2022, which will affect the areas of Victorville, Apple Valley, and Lucerne Valley. Winds between 20 to 30 mph are expected with gusts of up to 50 to 70 mph.

It also foresees the possibility of moderate rain and even possible snowfall at places with the highest elevation.
