Good morning! Monday was the warmest day of the week for the Coachella Valley, but things are about to cool down.
This morning looks pleasant and mild, but grab a light jacket if you’re walking the dog or doing an early jog before evening festivities.
A low-pressure trough is moving in from the West Coast, bringing breezy conditions starting Tuesday afternoon and lasting through Christmas Eve.
Along with gusty winds, there’s a chance of light showers west of the mountains, with snow possible above 7,000 feet. That means we could wake up to a dusting of snow on the mountains Christmas morning!
The Coachella Valley is under a wind advisory from 4:00 PM until midnight. Winds will be 20-30 mph, with gusts possibly exceeding 50 mph in wind-prone areas. Fortunately, this system moves through quickly, and we’re expecting calmer weather by Wednesday morning.
Once the system passes, expect cooler temperatures, with highs in the mid-70s through Friday. Then, temperatures will start warming back up on Thursday and continue into the weekend. We’ll return to *almost* 80 by Sunday.
