Seasonable heat for now and gustier winds on the way

Heading into the evening, winds will be breezy across the area.

Stronger winds and blowing dust will begin to arrive late tomorrow afternoon, and will strengthen during the nighttime hours across the Desert Southwest.

Higher gusts of 40 MPH will be possible in Imperial County, where blowing dust and unhealthy air quality will become a concern.

Dry and breezy conditions each afternoon will result in elevated fire weather concerns.
