Early Sunday around 5 a.m., Tropical Storm Rachel is expected to reach the Coachella Valley, putting residents and festivalgoers on alert for a wet, windy weekend.
0.5 to 1.5 inches of rain are forecast across valley cities, and the National Weather Service has issued a flood advisory as runoff risks rise.
Wind gusts above 50 mph are also expected in some areas, including La Quinta near the polo fields where Headtrip is set to take place.
Residents and eventgoers were already adjusting plans Friday as local TV crews reported preparations underway ahead of the storm’s arrival.
