These offshore winds will favor areas outside of the Coachella Valley, but gusts in the low desert are still expected to reach 20-25 MPH on Saturday.

The offshore winds will usher in much drier air elevating fire weather conditions. A Red Flag Warning will take effect Saturday morning for Western Riverside County. Relative humidity will drop near 10%. Outdoor burning is not recommended as fires could spread quickly under these conditions.
