Tracking air quality concerns and rising temperatures

We remain under an Air Quality Alert from the South Coast AQMD. This is for the risk of windblown dust reducing air quality as a result of gusty winds. The alert is scheduled to expire Wednesday morning at 8 AM.

We are continuing to monitor air quality and wind around the low desert. As we move through the evening, wind gusts will strengthen. Gusts exceeding 20 MPH will be focused along the I-10 corridor.

Temperatures will gradually rise as we move through this week. This weekend will see the highest temperatures, with afternoon highs ~5° above average. Increasing moisture this weekend will lead to clouds joining by Sunday, followed by a cool down into the middle of next week.
