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.

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).
We hear you, May Gray is turning to June Gloom tomorrow & frankly it's getting old. Good news, the forecast shows a lower percentage of cloud cover for many areas each afternoon thru Sunday! Temps will remain on the cool side, but look for a little more sunshine. #CAwx #LAweather pic.twitter.com/OBnk99Qi8Y

Yes, we know and we've heard how ugly this weather is. But when you get above the inversion, it's quite beautiful. Cuyamaca Peak (6,500 ft) looking north 6-9 pm today. Thanks HPWREN. pic.twitter.com/VRTR4MzAqN

This Day In History
If the past few week's temperatures have seemed chilly, imagine how it felt in 1967 when temperatures in Idyllwild and Palomar Mountain dropped to 24 and 28 degrees, respectively, each the lowest on record for June.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
