| episode_narrative | A deep, upper-level trough brought strong and gusty westerly winds to the mountains and deserts. Several wind gusts over 75 mph were observed, especially on the desert slopes leading down into the Coachella Valley. This resulted in areas of blowing dust and sand on the desert floor, reducing visibility to near zero at times. |
