""Then, the second pulse of this storm is going to be Saturday night, and that's where pretty much the whole region will see periods of rain with the chance for thunderstorms," said weather service meteorologist Rose Schoenfeld. "With those thunderstorms, we could see risks such as strong winds, [and the] potential for some locally damaging wind gusts.""
"Rainfall totals of half an inch to 1.5 inches are expected in the mountain and foothill regions, and there is a chance of a dusting of snow in areas above 6,000 feet elevation."
"Gusty winds are expected in the Coachella Valley region Friday, where an air quality alert is in effect until 3 a.m. Saturday because of windblown dust."
