An NBC Palm Springs Weather Heads-Up on Sunday, January 19, 2025!

The Coachella Valley will be under sunny skies this afternoon with light winds and near-normal highs around 70°. Then, those Santa Ana winds return to Southern California.

Beginning Tuesday, winds out of the North and Northeast will begin to ramp-up while our air starts to dry-out. This combination has elevated the Fire Danger.

Several weather-related advisories have been posted for SoCal...

• High Wind Watch (Monday-Tuesday): Western Riverside County, South-Western San Bernardino County, West-Central San Diego County, and areas of Ventura and LA Counties.
• Wind Advisory (Monday): Eastern Riverside County, Northeastern Imperial County.
• Red Flag Warning (Monday-Tuesday): Western Riverside County, South-Western San Bernardino County, West-Central San Diego County, areas of Ventura and LA County.
• Fire Weather Watch (Tuesday-Thursday) areas of Ventura and LA County.

Although no advisories have been posted for the Coachella Valley, certain wind-prone areas will still feel the effects of those Santa Anas.

See images for details.
