Dust storms around Palm Desert

6:55pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Palm Desert, California, USA, Monday night, March 20, 2023. It was rainy and cold in Dana Point when I woke this morning. It didn’t get better taking my daughter to school, though the skies did clear slightly by late morning. Dark, ominous clouds loomed on the horizon driving through Riverside this afternoon but, they didn’t produce much rain. Shortly before Morongo things cleared up, except for the wind, which remained strong. As a result, Palm Desert has had dust storms since I got here. Looks like it will be another week of allergy medicine and runny noses.
