A Windy Tuesday in Store Before Wetter Weather Arrives Late Week

Winds have been increasing over the past few hours and are expected to pick up tomorrow, especially in the afternoon and evening. While no advisory is currently in place for wind, there are advisories to our north and south for most of the day tomorrow.

Earlier this evening we had clear skies--perfect viewing for the Falcon 9 SpaceX rocket launch tonight.

Tomorrow's increasing clouds and gusty winds will signal the start of a weather shift.

Strongest winds are expected in the afternoon and early evening hours.

Wednesday will bring the arrival of rain to the region, with the heaviest rainfall expected Thursday and Friday morning, alongside snow in the higher elevations.

Significant rainfall has triggered a Flood Watch for all areas west of the Coachella Valley, as well as SW San Bernadino County and down towns San Diego.

While the valley could see showers Wednesday, most of the wet weather looks to stay around the Coast, moving inland into the valley by Thursday.

The weekend will bring dry and warmer conditions, making for a pleasant end to the week after the wet weather clears out. But for now... plan for a potentially wet Valentine's Day.
