The wind that caused downed trees and power lines earlier in the week isn’t going away – at least not yet.

Gusts that range from 25 to 40 mph are expected on the western fringes of the San Fernando Valley Wednesday with lots of sunshine, said Carol Smith, meteorologist for the National Weather Service based in Oxnard.

“We’ll have some strong winds again,” Smith said, adding a wind advisory as of Tuesday afternoon had not been put in effect. Temperatures will be from the 80s and 90s in the area, she added.

However, it remains to be seen if the weather will result in the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power being forced to restore power to thousands on Tuesday after Monday’s windy onslaught that resulted from 35-mph to nearly 50-mph winds in the San Fernando Valley area.

On Tuesday, DWP crews were busy restoring power to areas including Sherman Oaks, North Hills, Mission Hills and Studio City among other areas.

Terry Schneider, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, said a fallen tree in Sherman Oaks resulted in almost 3,000 customers being without power but that number had sliced to 500 by Tuesday afternoon.

At the peak of the windy weather, Schneider added, about 13,000 people were without power while that number had been reduced to 2,900 on Tuesday.

“Hopefully by the end of the day we’ll get everyone back up,” Schneider said.

Christy Holland of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power added that crews were working around the clock to get everyone’s power restored.

“We always have replacement crews on standby,” Holland said.

Felled lines were blamed for setting some large trees ablaze in the 400 block of South Arden Boulevard in Hancock Park Monday, but no one was injured, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Southern California Edison spokesman David Song said on Tuesday afternoon there were 44 outages due to the wind and the issues were set to be resolved before the end of the day. Song did not have totals on how many people were affected by the wind on Monday as 7,600 were without power but there was no information separating customers with scheduled maintenance and people who were experienced the outage.

“They were able to restore power relatively quickly,” Song said.

Margaret Stewart, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Fire Department, said her department had in excess of 60 wires down responses after the inclement weather but she wasn’t impressed by the damage.

“There’s nothing extraordinary,” Stewart said. “Just the typical wires down and trees down. And no injuries.”
