The winds are kicking up even more as the sun goes down on the last night of Coachella Weekend 1.
The sky is filled with dust, creating a hazy, eerie sunset. People are wrapping up in sweatshirts if they brought them and whatever else they can find if they didn’t. An increasing number are covering their faces with bandanas to keep from breathing in the gunk.
The National Weather Service forecast for Indio tonight: “Areas of blowing dust. Mostly clear, with a low around 66. Breezy, with a north wind around 25 mph, with gusts as high as 40 mph.” A high wind warning is in effect.
