episode_narrativeA weak area of low pressure moved through central California during the evening of December 25th. The main impacts were to bring a few showers to the Southern Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains (including the foothills). Behind the weak low pressure, gusty winds developed over the mountains and deserts, with numerous gusts to 50 mph, and a peak wind gust of 75 mph measured at the Mojave Air/Spaceport. ||The strong winds around 75 mph in the desert caused a dust storm to occur in the Lancaster and Mojave areas on the 26th. Law enforcement shut down portions of the Antelope Valley Freeway north of Lancaster, as well as Highway 58 through much of eastern Kern County in the desert. Strong winds also caused a tractor-trailer to overturn along California Highway 14 at California City Blvd.
