    Weather Forecast for Coachella 2023

    The National Weather Service in San Diego Weather Forecast Office, whose area of responsibility includes Riverside County, has the following Weekend 1 weather forecast for April 14-16:

    Friday - Sunny, with a high near 80. Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming southeast in the afternoon.
    Friday Night - Mostly clear, with a low around 55. Northwest wind 10 to 15 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph.
    Saturday - Sunny, with a high near 86. Light southeast wind increasing to 10 to 15 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph.
    Saturday Night - Mostly clear, with a low around 60. Southeast wind 5 to 10 mph becoming northwest after midnight.
    Sunday - Sunny, with a high near 91. Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming southeast in the afternoon.

    It could be a bit chilly tonight, especially if the wind kicks in. Anyone going might want to bring a jacket, sweatshirt/hoodie, or a sweater with them. It won't though be quite as cold as last night and the wind won't be as strong. There were some reports from campers of some high gusts and a lot of blowing dust on Thursday. The rest of the weekend looks great!
