Onshore winds have increased and will remain occasionally gusty over the next few days. Monday will look similar to Sunday, with stronger winds in the evening hours. Here's a look at how conditions may shape up by Monday night.
Gusty winds will likely carry into the middle of the week as we once again increase overall chances for precipitation. From Monday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon, we may see additional snow for the mountains, with a Winter Weather Advisory in effect from the National Weather Service. 2-6" of snow are possible in area mountains. This will be replaced by a Winter Storm Watch from Tuesday afternoon until Wednesday evening. During this window, snow levels are likely to drop as low as 3500 ft. with higher snow totals.
Rain is also expected for the Coachella Valley from late Tuesday into Wednesday. Cool temperatures are expected to start Thursday, but warmer days return by the weekend.
