An expanded wind advisory went into effect early Wednesday evening covering a large swath of the North, East and South Bay, warning of wind gusts as high as 60 mph.

Initially issued Tuesday afternoon for the North Bay interior mountains, East Bay hills and Eastern Santa Clara hills, by evening the National Weather Service had expanded the advisory to include the Santa Cruz Mountains and Marin Coastal Range.

KPIX Chief Meteorologist Paul Heggen described the situation as a "disruptive, not dangerous" scenario. Gusts in the valleys where most Bay Area residents live will be in the 30-40 mph range through midday Friday, with gusts in the higher elevations potentially above 50 mph.
