The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for the Bay Area that is in effect through 1 p.m. Wednesday, and high wind warnings have been issued along coastal parts of the region.
PG&E officials said the risks of outages and downed lines will continue into Wednesday as gusts reach 60 mph or more at higher elevations. Anyone who sees downed power lines should call 911 immediately and never touch the equipment since it could be energized and dangerous, according to the utility.
