Here’s what to expect for travel this Thanksgiving week

After a wet period in mid-November, gusty winds will kick off Thanksgiving week across California, but the overall weather pattern will be calmer over the next seven days.

The week begins with Diablo winds in the Bay Area and Santa Ana and Sundowner winds in Southern California. In the Bay Area, the National Weather Service issued a wind advisory until 9 a.m. for sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph and gusts up to 55 mph.

Parts of Southern California are under a warning for high winds of up to 70 mph in wind-prone areas such as the San Gabriel Mountains and Santa Monica. The winds will slowly ease Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning. Recent rainfall will significantly reduce fire danger across the state.

Weather is expected to be dry statewide through at least Wednesday morning as a high pressure system expands across the Southwest. A weak cold front is expected to move over Northern California Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday with a chance of light drizzle along the North Coast and into the Bay Area. Accumulations are expected to be less than a tenth of an inch. Dry weather will return for the rest of the week.

The winds will increase behind the cold front on Thursday. Weather conditions are expected to be breezy throughout the Sacramento Valley Thursday through Saturday. Northeast winds could exceed 30 mph.

Highs in Sacramento and San Francisco will be in the 60s all week. Los Angeles and San Diego will be in the mid to upper 70s through Wednesday before dropping into the upper 60s to upper 70s on Thanksgiving weekend. Lows will be in the upper 30s to lower 40s in the Sacramento and Central Valleys and in the upper 40s to lower 50s on the coast. Freezing nights are expected in the Sierra Nevada.

San Francisco: Diablo winds will blow dry air on Monday, a stark contrast to recent wet weather. Winds could reach 20 mph throughout the morning before the winds die down in the afternoon. The Twin Peaks neighborhood will be most exposed to northeasterly winds.

Skies will be clear, with temperatures in the mid to upper 60s across the city, about 5 degrees above normal for this date. High clouds are expected to increase overnight, with lows in the upper 40s.

North Bay: Gusty winds are expected to gust between the coastal Marin Mountains, the inland North Bay Mountains and Solano County, gusting between 35 and 45 mph throughout the morning. A few power outages and downed trees are likely around Mount Tam, Mount St. Helena and Fairfield. Winds are expected to be stronger in the mountains and are not expected to be as strong in the Petaluma, Sonoma and Napa Valleys.

Winds will calm through the afternoon, with clear skies and highs in the upper 60s to 70s. Point Reyes will be cooler in the mid 60s. High clouds will move in overnight, with lows dropping into the lower 40s, with mid 40s near the Gulf Shore.

East Bay: Diablo winds are expected to gust up to 35 mph in the East Bay Hills Monday morning. Mount Diablo could see some winds around 50 mph.

The weather is expected to be calm in the afternoon, with clear skies. Highs will be in the mid 60s in Walnut Creek, Danville and Livermore. Oakland and Berkeley will reach the upper 60s, about 5 degrees above normal for this date. Lows will drop into the mid to upper 40s under partly cloudy skies.

Pacific Coast and Peninsula: The peninsula is expected to be spared the strongest winds Monday morning, but gusts of up to 25 to 30 mph are likely at the higher elevations of the coastal mountains.

The east breeze will blow warm air all the way to the coast, so temperatures will be fairly uniform in the mid 60s throughout San Mateo County. The sky is expected to be generally clear, with high clouds increasing after sunset. Lows will be in the mid 40s.

South Bay and Santa Cruz: Gusty winds are expected to blow through the Santa Cruz Mountains Monday morning, likely downing local trees and power outages. Winds of up to 45 mph are possible at the highest peaks, but Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz and San Jose are expected to see winds of only 15 to 20 mph. The winds will subside throughout the afternoon.

High temperatures will range from the mid 60s along the Monterey Bay Coast to the low 70s in the Santa Clara Valley under mainly clear skies. Scattered high clouds will increase in density during the night, with lows in the mid to upper 40s.
