Although an Air Quality Alert has only been issued for areas of Imperial County due to elevated ozone levels, the Air Quality Index for Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley-area today falls in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups category.
While the general public is unlikely to experience any health problems, those with heightened vulnerability issues may experience adverse effects like breathing difficulties or irritation.

There will not be any rain with this moisture, but the Valley will see a few extra clouds with a touch of humidity. Because of slightly higher dew points, Valley highs will back-off -- but only slightly -- on both Friday and Saturday afternoon.
As far as winds are concerned, on-shore winds will become just-a-bit gusty in those wind-prone areas around the Coachella Valley during the evening hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Tropical Storm Boris -- with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph -- is just off-shore of the Acapulco area of Southern Mexico. Because this system is moving to the North, its interaction with land will tear Boris apart, but not before it drops torrential rain over the this region.
Tropical Depression Three-E -- 35 mph winds -- is located off of the Pacific coast of Nicaragua and is currently moving to the North. This Depression will strengthen to Tropical Storm Cristina by Tuesday, but will not become a Hurricane. Although a slight turn to the Northwest is likely, its interaction with land between the El Salvador/Guatemala border will spell the end of this Storm.
