Wind Advisory Issued for Coachella Valley

Christmas Eve brings varied weather conditions across regions, with the Coachella Valley experiencing a Wind Advisory from 4 PM due to sustained winds of 20-30 mph and gusts up to 50 mph, although the area is expected to remain mostly dry. In contrast, southern Italy is facing intense winter weather, including strong winds and significant snowfalls, particularly from the Tramontana wind, with gusts exceeding 62 mph in some areas. Temperatures in southern Italy are anticipated to drop drastically, with highs only reaching 50-52 °F, compounded by the chilling winds, making outdoor conditions quite uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Arizona is also forecasted to encounter gusty conditions, particularly impacting travel along parts of Interstate 8. Light showers are possible in mountainous regions of the Coachella Valley, with a chance of a light dusting of snow on Christmas morning. Overall, while some regions brace for severe winter weather, others like Coachella Valley will see milder conditions with cooler temperatures during the holiday.
