You might want to check those wiper blades and hold off on getting your car washed as it sure looks like rain is headed to Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley this week.
Forecasters are calling for a storm to roll into Southern California on Wednesday, giving the desert a chance of showers through Thursday (and even a chance for snow in the mountains!).
Something for everyone. Fair and dry through Tue, then a storm late Wed through Fri with showers possibly lingering into Saturday, gusty winds, high surf, snow in the mountains. Which is your favorite part of the forecast? #cawx pic.twitter.com/xG7Zpmkl5B

And it looks like it’s a really good chance (90-100% according to forecasters) and it will be more than just a couple of sprinkles.
Confidence is increasing for some widespread precipitation later this week. These totals are very preliminary for the period late Wed through late Thu. Several inches of snow is likely above 6500 FT in the San Bernardino and Riverside County Mts as well. #CAwx pic.twitter.com/l3PBIcIKX2

Luckily, it does appear the rain will move out in time for all the tree lighting ceremonies this coming weekend around the Coachella Valley and the Festival of Lights parade in Palm Springs.
