Wind Advisory Continues, Desert Fire Reported, Transit Leaders to Meet in San Bernardino

San Bernardino is heading into Sunday with brisk winds, heightened fire awareness and a busy week ahead for local officials.

Wind Advisory Stretches Into Sunday

Gusty Santa Ana winds have continued across parts of San Bernardino County through the weekend. Forecasters say foothill and pass areas, including communities near Devore and north San Bernardino, have seen steady winds with stronger gusts at times.

Officials are urging residents to secure loose outdoor items and use caution on roadways, especially through the Cajon Pass. Elevated fire weather conditions remain a concern due to the dry, warm pattern accompanying the winds.

Desert Fire Reported in County

Fire crews are also responding to a newly reported Desert Fire in San Bernardino County on March 8. Early reports indicate the blaze was detected Sunday, though containment details were still limited at the time of publication.

With winds in the forecast, authorities are closely monitoring fire conditions and reminding residents to avoid activities that could spark additional ignitions.

Regional Transit Committee to Meet This Week

Looking ahead, transportation leaders are set to gather in San Bernardino for a General Policy Committee meeting on Wednesday, March 11. The agenda includes regional mobility planning and ongoing infrastructure coordination across the county.

The meeting comes as local agencies continue balancing storm preparedness, roadway safety and long-term transportation improvements across the Inland Empire.

What Residents Should Know

• Use extra caution while driving in windy corridors and mountain passes.

• Stay alert for fire updates, especially in open desert and foothill areas.

• Check local agency channels for any changes to advisories or public meetings.

As March begins to settle in, San Bernardino is once again navigating the familiar mix of wind, fire vigilance and civic planning that defines early spring in the region.
