Hazards to watch for

A windblown dust advisory is in effect this week for the Coachella Valley and Eastern Riverside County. That began at 5 p.m. yesterday and will last through 5 a.m. Friday morning due to high winds in the area. The South Coast Air Quality Management District warns the air quality could be unhealthy for sensitive groups — or worse.

About this gloomy weather

The gloomy weather is expected to clear up briefly on Friday or Saturday, then return to being overcast with the possibility of rain on Monday and Tuesday of next week.

And, yes, even the meteorologists are sick of going without our SoCal sunshine. The National Weather Service in San Diego, which covers Orange County, reports yesterday they saw eight record lows for the date, including in Anaheim (66), Ramona (62) and Palomar Mountain (47).
