Warm and dry weather for final January weekend

A Wind Advisory will take effect for local mountains and the San Gorgonio Pass at 1:00 a.m. Saturday. Wind within the advised area could gust upwards of 55 MPH. Use caution if traveling through the pass this weekend.

A breezy start to Saturday morning will quickly transition to a focus on areas west of the Coachella Valley.

The offshore wind will keep humidity low through the weekend. Temperatures will warm near 80° early next week before a weather pattern change gets everyone's attention.

The start of February looks to bring a significant change to Southern California's weather. The precipitation outlook indicates a wetter-than-average start to the month. It's too early to discuss amounts, but widespread rainfall is expected. The First Alert Weather Team is watching next week's atmospheric river carefully.
