WindChella? Forecast calls for strong winds at Coachella

Headed to the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in Indio this weekend? Be sure to bring a mask because it looks like it is going to be windy.

Forecasts are calling for 84 degrees with strong winds that could gust over 40 miles per hour in Indio on Friday – day one of the fest:

Winds will still be around Friday night, but gusts will be down to 20 miles per hour – so, yeah, bring a bandana or a mask (also, I can not recommend geting one of these enough), because that dust can sure kick up at the Empire Polo Fields #DustChella:

And, if you are camping, tie and weigh things down good.

As for the rest of Weekend One, winds will die off – but temps will heat up – with low to mid 90s for daytime highs:

But hey, heat > winds. Amirite?
