Wet & Windy Weather Arrives Overnight & Thursday

A First Alert Weather Alert is in place for all day Thursday. All hazards are on the table, including flooding, gusty winds, and travel concerns. There is a chance for some lingering rain and high-elevation snow on Friday but lingering winds will be the biggest impact for us in the valley.

Thursday morning shows a large push of moisture and wet weather moving into the region. This will be the time we receive most of the rain, however, there is a chance for some lingering showers throughout the rest of the day. It would be a really smart idea to allow extra time for your morning commute.

We will likely see around 0.25" of rain, with some locations potentially higher; considerably higher around San Bernadino.

Flood advisories are in place for areas just west of the valley including the mountains, so mountain runoff is something we will need to monitor. There's especially concern for areas around recent burn scars.

A Winter Storm Warning is also in place for the local mountains.

This system will also bring some notable winds to the entire region. Wind advisories are in place throughout much of Southern California surrounding the Coachella Valley. The valley floor itself is not under a wind advisory, but do expect breezy to gusty conditions on Thursday (especially in the afternoon).

While rain is more likely for the morning hours, don't entirely rule out a stray shower into the afternoon hours. Thursday matches at the BNP Paribas Open start at 11am.

After the system passes, temperatures will gradually warm throughout the weekend.
