Memorial Day Weekend: Splendid and seasonal!

THOUSAND PALMS, Calif. (KESQ) – We've made it to Friday! Great news as we usher in a long weekend, too: we're in for warm & pleasant conditions this Memorial Day.

It was a touch above average yesterday in Palm Springs. We climbed to the century mark at 100°F on the dot. We're expecting warm conditions again today – in the upper 90s and low 100s across the valley.

As you plan your day, expect a mild and comfortable morning. We enter the 90s just ahead of lunchtime. Dinnertime should be perfect for a meal on the patio!

Again, we're tracking some great conditions through Memorial Day weekend. The average temperature this time of year is 97°F, and we should be within 1-3°F of that mark all the way through Monday. We have a better opportunity to cool off as we look further into next week. There's some potential for a return of some gusty winds – but for now, plan for a warm & pleasant holiday weekend.
