A whopping 7.8 quake hit in the early morning hours off the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, prompting concerns of a Tsunami, which thankfully did not materialize. That quake has registered several large aftershocks as well. Weatherwise, the temperatures will not be as hot today or into the rest of the week thanks to an area

While highs will be above average today and tomorrow, we’re expecting a little bit of below seasonal weather by midweek as a weak trough moves toward the coast. Today, we’ll see highs near 112, but luckily the monsoon flow remains to our East, keeping dew points in check for the next few days. The relatively

High pressure is once again going to dominate the surface map in the Desert Southwest, raising temps (but not the record levels we saw last weekend). We’ve been keeping an eye on Monsoonal flow from the SE, but it appears to have dried out nicely for the weekend, and the ridge of high pressure should

After a hot start to the week, and record breaking heat last Sunday, we’re milder today, with highs topping out near our seasonally normal 108. A weak low pressure system off the coast enhanced the Marine Layer, and will help keep us modestly cooler today. With a slight Northwesterly breeze, the air quality has improved,

High pressure remains large and in charge this week, so the heat will stay with us. Underneath that ridge of high pressure, dry air filters in keeping dew points in check and humidity fairly low. We do see some weakening of the surface high midweek, so temperatures drop below 110 degrees briefly before returning to

High pressure builds into the region for the Holiday weekend, raising temps and keeping us sunny. We topped out at 103 yesterday, and we’ll add a couple of degrees to that total later this afternoon. High pressure often results in worsening air quality in the Valley (Ozone and other pollutants get trapped near the Earth’s

We’re still enjoying below average temps through tomorrow, so take advantage of these unseasonal “cool” conditions! We hit 100 yesterday and will be close to that again today. With a light NW breeze, the AQI checks in today in the “Moderate” range, and should remain there throughout the day. High pressure building in over the

Welcome to July! The Jet Stream, coupled with an upper-level low will help to keep our temperatures slightly below normal here in the desert. Elsewhere around SoCal, highs will be close to normal. The Jet track moves farther North as we ease into the weekend, which will allow high pressure to build in over the

A gentle flow from the Northwest as the Jet Stream eases into to SoCal is keeping our temps cooler than normal for a couple of days. And the storm system that created windy conditions has moved farther North, allowing winds to subside. The breezy atmosphere has led to better air quality with our AQI in

Gusty winds remain in the forecast despite a Wind Advisory expiring at 8 a.m. The winds will gradually calm down onto tomorrow. And are of low pressure sits to our North funneling in winds and cooler temperatures for today and tomorrow. As that low tracks farther North and East, winds will subside, and highs will

Above average temperatures linger through today and even tomorrow, but daytime highs will adjust downward by Sunday. Breezy to moderately gusty winds will help to usher in those cooler temps. Winds will gust to 30 mph in the usually windy spots. Winds are helping the air quality improve by clearing smoke and other pollutants from

We’ll see partly cloudy skies today, which will likely keep us below 110 degrees, but it will still be hotter than normal and humidity will be higher than normal as well, impacting how it feels outside. The higher dew points will also impact Swamp Cooler performance today. High pressure remains in place off the Baja

Highs hit 110 yesterday and will match or exceed that again this afternoon under a strong ridge of high pressure that will linger over the region through Saturday. Beneath that dome of high pressure, a bit of moisture is trapped at the surface, causing dew points to be a bit higher than we’re used to
