Strong winds toppled a power line near the 210 Freeway and Sierra in Fontana.
At one point, the lights were out for over 2,000 homes as well as businesses in Los Angeles and Orange counties.
Most of the power has since been restored.
However, the National Weather Service says the strong winds may knock down more power lines and trees. Forecasters are also predicting scattered showers and occasional thunderstorms in some areas in the afternoon and evening.
