The wider storm

A low pressure system dropped southward through the Great Basin on March 29 pushing a dry cold front through central California during the afternoon and evening hours. This produced a period of gusty winds across the Kern County Deserts as well as in the Tehachapi and Lake Isabella areas. Several stations briefly measured gusts exceeding 45 mph. The winds diminished by late evening as the low moved well to the east of our area.
