Popis: The Southern California San Jacinto fault is geometrically complex, consisting of several major strands with smaller scale complexity within each strand. The two northernmost strands, the Claremont and the Casa Loma–Clark, are separated by a 25‐km‐long extensional stepover with an average of 4 km separation between the strands. We use a combined modeling method to assess probable rupture and ground‐motion behaviors for this stepover. First, dynamic rupture modeling on geometrically complex fault strands embedded in a state‐of‐the‐art 3D crustal velocity model is used to generate a series of scenario earthquakes. We then use the resulting near‐fault low‐frequency (
