...BREEZY TO WINDY FOR FRIDAY THEN COLD AIR ARRIVES EARLY NEXT
WEEK...
Winds increase during the day on Friday as an upper-level system
swings through the region from the west. West winds of 25 to 35
mph are forecast during the afternoon with gusts up to 50 mph
along the I-10 corridor. The strongest gusts are expected along
east slopes of the Sacramento Mountains, Organs, and Franklins.
With the combination of gusty winds, warmer temperatures, and
recent dry conditions, blowing dust will be a concern along the
International border Friday afternoon and evening. Winds decrease
Friday evening but remain breezy for Saturday.
A strong cold front moves in from the east Saturday night.
Morning Wind Chill values will range from 15 to 25 in the lowlands
and 0 to 10 in the mountains. Highs will be in the 40s. Even
colder air is set to arrive late Monday night into Tuesday. By
Tuesday morning, wind chill values will range from 5 to 15 degrees
with mountains below zero. Highs on Tuesday will stay in the 30s.
We remain cold Wednesday but will begin a slow warm-up afterward.
Remember to protect the 4 P's: People, Pets, Plants, and Pipes.
At this time, there is little to no chance for snow except across
mountains where some light snow may fall Monday and Tuesday.
