First Alert Weather Alert: Gusty winds Sunday evening-Monday night

Today marks the final day of the 2023 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio. Temperatures are expected to soar to the mid to upper 90s once again for daytime highs. Sunscreen, hats, and hydration are key for anyone spending time outside today.

By the evening, onshore winds are expected to increase across the valley floor. Gusts between 20-30 mph are possible and will likely continue through Monday. A First Alert Weather Alert has been issued, starting Sunday at 5 p.m. and lasting until midnight on Tuesday. During this time, driving conditions may be difficult, especially given the increased number of travelers on the roads who may be unfamiliar with the impacts of gusty conditions in the valley. Give yourself extra time out the door during this window.

Following a couple of windy days, high pressure builds. Temperatures reach toward triple digit highs by Thursday. Overnight lows come up to the 70s.
