Warmer than normal temperatures persist

Beating yesterday's high by five degrees, Palm Springs spiked to 80° this afternoon, keeping the above-average trend going.

We'll still maintain a warmer than normal trend into the middle of the work week thought temperatures will dip a few degrees as a Santa Ana wind pattern takes shape.

The valley floor is expected to experience wind speeds 15-20 MPH on Wednesday, with gusts up to 30-35 MPH.

Winds will diminish through Thursday and temperatures will begin their upward climb once more. Prepare for highs in the mid 80s by the weekend!
