The Santa Ana winds will sweep across Southern California once again, bringing gusts of over 60 mph in the mountains on Monday, the National Weather Service predicted.

"Gusty Santa Ana winds will develop across Los Angeles and Ventura counties early Monday morning," the weather agency said.

A high-wind warning is in effect through Tuesday, forecasters said.

Intense winds over the past week left thousands of people without electricity. Crews in Southern California cleaned up downed power lines and damaged structures Sunday.

The unusually powerful Santa Ana winds descend to the Pacific Coast around Los Angeles from inland desert regions, according to the weather service.
