This time of year in the Coachella Valley is nuts and Monday was no exception.
Winds reached speeds of 67 miles per hour in the pass, there was a 61 mph gust in Palm Desert, and Coachella recorded a gust at 58 mph, according to the National Weather Service.

And those winds didn’t just blow your neighbor’s pool toys into your backyard, they also made driving trucks on the freeway pretty dangerous.

On the bright side, Tuesday will see the winds die down and the weather is going to be rad.

Well, the winds have backed-off… for now. Today and tomorrow the Coachella Valley will look absolutely wonderful with sunny blues skies and mild high temperatures.
However, those gusty West winds return on Thursday.@KESQ pic.twitter.com/1OgrzwGr77— Jerry Steffen™ KESQ (@JerrySteffen) April 17, 2018
Enjoy it while you can though as things will creep back into the 90’s just in time for Coachella Weekend Two.
