Arrests for various, usually misdemeanor, violations are common during the celebrations.
High desert winds, churning up sand and dust clouds, have been known to disrupt the shows. According to the National Weather Service, a trough of low pressure from the Gulf of Alaska will make landfall in Southern California Friday night, racing across the region, generating "brief heavy showers" in isolated locations, though "overall rain amounts look to remain light."
Only a few hundredths of an inch are possible in the deserts.
"Gusty winds over the mountains and deserts will occur ... peaking Saturday afternoon and evening, with top gusts of 40-55 mph," the NWS stated. "A second, weaker round will occur Sunday afternoon and evening."
