Gusty winds will continue to target the mountains and deserts where a Wind Advisory is in effect until 5am Wednesday. Expect west and southwesterly winds of 20 to 35mph and gusts of 40 to 65mph with blowing dust and dirt leading to poor air quality at times in the deserts.
Morning clouds will give way to sunny skies Wednesday with warmer days on tap through Friday, trending near to 5 degrees below average.

Sunny skies and warming temperatures will be the trend early next week.
