The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory — winds of 35 mph or greater — for Los Angeles and other areas in the region beginning Tuesday night and continuing into Wednesday. The strongest gusts are expected over L.A. and Ventura counties.

A cold low pressure system is expected to move through the area Tuesday and into Northern Baja by Wednesday. Some of the interior valleys may experience another night of sub-freezing temperatures and patchy frost.

Use caution while driving; gusty cross winds could create hazardous road conditions, especially for high profile vehicles.
