Strong onshore flow from a low pressure system moving inland through northern California created gusty west winds along the desert slopes on the 22nd. Strong surface high pressure built over the Great Basin on the 23rd behind the departing upper-level trough, resulting in strong, gusty east to northeast winds (Santa Ana winds) in the mountains and on the coastal mountain slopes. The strongest gusts were focused in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties on the 22nd when winds were out of the west then shifting around to the north on the 23rd, then shifted to San Diego County as winds turned more easterly later on the 23rd.
