Tourists and restaurants weather rain on the Valley floor

The Coachella Valley experienced a fast-moving rainstorm on Wednesday morning.

Despite the cool weather and rain, foot traffic in Downtown Palm Springs remained lively. 

Some businesses say the rain has a minimal impact on them.

Other businesses, like restaurants, feel the impact of rain and cool weather.

Restaurants and cafes with large outdoor seating areas and limited indoor dining spaces struggle to accommodate large crowds during rain. 

There are also people camping outside of the Palm Springs Convention Center. They are waiting for celebrities to arrive to the Palm Springs Film Festival which begins on Thursday.

Reporter Allie Anthony spoke to members of the community and tourists about how the rain impacted their day.
