Warmer and drier moving into the weekend

After a high temperature of 75° this afternoon in Palm Springs, this evening is sure to bring out the crowds at VillageFest.

The latest drought monitor shows a huge improvement! Over the past three months, the state has gone from more than 7% experiencing 'exceptional' drought to now more than 44% reporting no drought.

St. Patrick's Day will provide mostly sunny skies and high temperatures in the mid and upper-70s. Subtle warming will continue into the weekend ahead of the next storm system, currently timed to bring rain to the region on Tuesday.
