Palm Springs Gets Ready For Storm Number-2

A cold Pacific storm made its way through Southern California on Wednesday, bringing more cold temperatures and snow for area mountains.

The second cold winter storm expected this week will arrive Wednesday and likely last through late Thursday morning, according to the NWS.

A high wind watch is scheduled to be in effect for the mountains from late Wednesday night through Thursday afternoon. Winds will come out of the northeast and blow at sustained speeds of between 25 and 35 miles per hour, gusting up to 70 mph, according to the Weather Service.

“The winds will make driving difficult, especially for motorists with high profile vehicles,” an advisory warned. “Watch for broken tree limbs and downed power lines.”
