| episode_narrative | A large upper-level low over the Pacific Northwest deepened and swung through the Great Basin the evening of the 14th through the 16th, driving strong and gusty westerly winds across the mountains and deserts. These winds resulted in widespread blowing dust in the Coachella Valley, with visibilities down to one-eights of a mile or less at times and accumulating sand, closing main roadways through the valley. Several mountain stations recorded sustained winds of 35-45 mph and gusts 60 to 80 mph. Following this event a weak upper low off the coast produced elevated thunderstorms in northwest San Diego County, with 60 total strikes and up to 1/2 size hail during the evening of April 24th. |
| event_narrative | Very windy conditions existed along the Interstate 10 corridor in the Coachella Valley on the evening of the 14th, with blowing dust bringing visibility down to under one-eighth of a mile. KESQ news reported a sand storm impacting the Coachella Music Festival with winds gusting up to 40 mph at the Coachella mesonet. California Highway Patrol reported a large quantity of sand in the roadway near Vamer Road and Monterey Avenue the following morning. The Desert Sun newspaper reported police closed Gene Autry Trail between Interstate 10 and Via Escuela and Indian Canyon Road from Palm Springs Train Road to Tramway Road due to blowing sand and reduced visibility of less than one-quarter mile. These major roads remained closed until the 16th due to blowing sand and downed trees. |
