This warning is for the Carquinez Strait and Delta.  

Northerly wind may cause downed trees in the Delta region due to non-prevailing wind direction.  Power outages are also possible and travel could be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles.  

With the wind speed, it's recommended to secure outdoor objects. 

The National Weather Service has also issued a Wind Advisory for the western side of the Sacramento Valley extending into the Coastal Range til 10 p.m. Sunday.
