Cold, gusty winds lashed parts of Southern California overnight, the National Weather Service said.

Wind advisories and high-wind warnings were in effect for parts of the region through Wednesday morning.

In the Los Angeles County mountains, excluding the Santa Monica range, a wind advisory will remain in effect until 10 a.m. Wednesday as winds of up to 45 mph are expected to blow through the area.

Major roadways that could face reduced visibility due to blowing dust and sand include the 14 and 138 freeways, the NWS said.

A high-wind warning was in effect for the mountains of Riverside County to the Coachella Valley. Gusts of up to 60 mph and sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph were expected overnight.
