First Alert Weather Alert tonight and tomorrow

A significant front arrives later this evening, increasing winds, cooling us off and bringing a small chance of spotty showers in the Western Coachella Valley. Plus there's the threat of 1" to 3" of snow in mountain communities above 5,500 feet.

A Wind Advisory is posted for tomorrow around Barstow, and while we're not under that advisory, we will still see some gusty conditions tonight.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from late this evening until tomorrow night for the mountains above 5,500 feet for 1" to 3" inches of snow.

The chance of rain is minimal and confined mainly to the mountains, but we could see a few showers at the West end of the Valley overnight and into early tomorrow morning.

Winds will peak overnight and then ease into tomorrow afternoon.

Highs will dip from near 80 today into the upper 60s tomorrow and likely Saturday as well before we warm back up into the middle 70s.
