Last night's winds forecast at 10 PM
That was down from earlier in the day when Palm Springs had winds up to 40 mph. San Gorgonio Pass gets the worst winds (that's why all the wind turbines are there) and yesterday Whitewater had a peak gust of 61 mph. It's not unusual for winds in the pass to exceed 60 or even 70 mph, but I don't recall any exceeding 80 mph so that's probably rare. I live near the "P" in Palm Springs which means I'm on the lee side of the +10,000' Mt San Gorgonio and only 1 in 10 wind events in the pass are also a wind event on the south side of Palm Springs. Yesterday's was one of those 1 in 10 events as winds not only funneled through the pass but through the lower mountains (5000' ridge southwest rather than 9000' ridge directly west) southwest of Palm Springs.
