SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Windy conditions will continue across much of San Diego County through Tuesday.

A wind advisory will be in effect for San Diego County valleys and mountains through 8 p.m. Tuesday, covering cities including Escondido, El Cajon, San Marcos, La Mesa, Santee, Poway, Julian and Pine Valley.

East winds from 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 55 mph are expected in those areas.

The National Weather Service recommended using extra caution when driving, especially drivers of high-profile vehicles, and securing outdoor objects.

"Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects," forecasters said. "Tree limbs could be blown down."

More than 60 Cal Fire San Diego firefighters were at the scene of a commercial structure fire in Borrego Springs at the De Anza Country Club Monday.

When crews arrived at 4:40 a.m., about 75% of the building was involved with heavy fire, Cal Fire San Diego said on social media.
