The Indian Wells Canyon RAWS reported a peak wind gust of 80 mph.

The wider storm

An upper level low pressure system moved across the Pacific Northwest on June 9 which pushed cooler air into Central California. This produced a strong onshore pressure gradient which resulted in a period of increased winds across the Kern County Mountains and Deserts where several locations measured gusts exceeding 50 mph between the afternoon of June 9 and the morning of June 10. Some stronger gusts were observed mainly at low impact indicator sites.
