INDIO, Calif. () — A windblown dust advisory has been extended in the Coachella Valley as concertgoers attend the final day of the Stagecoach Country Music Festival.
The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for the Coachella Valley. High winds with gusts up to 40 or 50 mph are expected through Tuesday morning.
Due to the high winds, dust and high particle pollution is expected to be in the unhealthy category in Northern Coachella Valley through Tuesday morning, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District. In other areas of the Coachella Valley, the air quality is expected to be unhealthy for sensitive groups.
The Stagecoach Country Music Festival is expected to conclude as scheduled on Sunday in Indio with Post Malone set to headline the final night, one day after the festival was disrupted by high winds that resulted in a temporary evacuation and suspension before organizers reopened the event around 9 p.m.
