High pressure continues to spread into the west coast today. This is allowing our temperatures to consistently reach the 80s to start the workweek.

Winds overnight have brought blowing sand and dust, along with one road closure due to blowing sand issues. Those gusty winds are the result of high pressure off the coast, and an area of low pressure to our North funneling winds through the San Gorgonio Pass. Winds peaked overnight, but we’ll still see some strong
