PASADENA, Calif. — Thousands of Southern Californians who have gone without power for five days are being told it’s almost over, though a new round of high wind warnings have been issued for some areas hard hit by last week’s ferocious windstorm.

The National Weather Service warnings are in effect through Tuesday afternoon for gusts of up to 60 mph below mountain passes and in canyons. Some coastal and inland desert areas could see 50 mph gusts.

There also are red flag warnings in some areas because of high fire danger from gusty, dry weather.

However, the winds won’t be as strong as last week, when gusts of nearly 100 mph were recorded. Those winds toppled power lines and trees and fanned small fires.

Some 300,000 people lost power. Some remain blacked out, but Southern California Edison said “99.9 percent” of customers who lost electricity will have it back today.
