Because of Monday's winds, an Airport Weather Warning was issued for San Diego's Lindbergh Field from 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
As of 9 a.m., at least a dozen flights have been delayed likely due to the ongoing winds.
On the roads, Caltrans said a wind advisory is in effect for Interstate 8 from Alpine to the San Diego/Imperial County line.
Meanwhile, a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for San Diego's mountain areas because of the cooler-than-usual temperatures.
The advisory, which took effect Sunday at 6 p.m. and runs until 10 p.m. Monday, comes as 10News' forecast calls for up to 2 inches of snow in the mountains.
Light rain is also expected to fall around the county Monday.
The National Weather Service said: "Plan on slippery road conditions ... (and) be prepared for snow covered roads ... including during the evening commute. Damage to trees and power lines is likely. Be prepared for reduced visibilities at times."
