Gusty winds bring cooler temperatures

A trough of low pressure is bringing gusty winds to the mountain and the desert areas. A Wind Advisory is in effect through 10:00 p.m. for gusts greater than 40 MPH. Travel with caution as blowing sand and dust will reduce visibility across roadways.

These winds are bringing cooler temperatures after last week’s heat wave. Palm Springs recorded a high of 103° Monday afternoon.

Prepare for windy and dusty conditions with peak winds between 45 and 55 MPH in wind-prone areas through the night. Air quality may be reduced due to these conditions. 

Temperatures are set to increase later this week due to the high-pressure building in. The high for this week will be on Thursday near 110 degrees.
