In the Inland Empire and Orange County, the winds will arrive Sunday evening, peak at nighttime, and continue Monday until around 2 p.m., according to NWS meteorologist Elizabeth Schenk, who said the winds will begin as northerly winds and transition to Santa Ana winds early next week. During this wind event, Orange County's inland areas, the Santa Ana Mountains and all of the Inland Empire will be under a high wind warning starting at 6 p.
