Wider weather episode

An upper trough pushed through California between the evening of June 27 and the morning of June 29. While this system was moisture deficient and did not produce any precipitation across the area, it did provide for a period of increased winds across the area as onshore pressure gradients strengthened. Several stations measured wind gusts exceeding 40 mph while a few low impact indicator sites briefly reported wind gusts exceeding 60 mph.
