We started Friday with a bang, literally, as a 6.5 magnitude quake struck 35 miles West of Tonopah, NV, shaking the ground from San Francisco to Mexico. So far, no reports of injuries or serious damage. Weatherwise, Sunny skies, and winds that are gradually settling down will kick off the weekend, and today we see
Continue Reading The Wind Advisory of yesterday and last night expired on time at 5 a.m. and now we’re left with breezy and mild conditions for the day as an area of low pressure continues to spin up North. Because of the winds, small particulate matter (translate: dust and pollen) has increased across the Valley, pushing our

A trough digging in to the Pacific NW will push cooler air into the region today, along with gusty winds, resulting in comfortable daytime highs and a Wind Advisory through tomorrow morning. Those gusty winds will likely be in the 20-25mph range with some gusts close to 40mph in the late afternoon and evening hours

Breezy conditions overnight and into today will usher in more pleasant and seasonal conditions this week. Highs will be in the double-digits all week, as a strong front to our North continues to push cooler air across the Western U.S. The Jet Stream is dropping a little farther South, allowing cooler temps to continue through

Yesterday’s crippling 110 bested a decades old record of 107. Today, we’ll be slightly cooler, but not much. The Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect until 9 p.m. and then we’ll some more significant cooling into next week. Winds will become breezy this afternoon and evening as high pressure weakens, and a trough develops into

The Excessive Heat Warning is still in effect until 9 p.m. tomorrow, and we tied yesterday’s record of 108, likely to be close again today, nearing the record of 107 as the heatwave persists. A ridge of high pressure will start to weaken tomorrow and into the weekend, as a trough moves in from the
Continue Reading Highs will increase a few degrees, and threaten the 107 record for today. Today and tomorrow will be the peak of the heat (with some signs indicating today may be the hottest day). The Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect. High pressure is gradually weakening, but it’s at it’s zenith today, so we’ll continue to
Continue Reading Highs yesterday topped out at 101 at PSP, and today we’ll add to that number. An Excessive Heat Warning goes into effect at 10 a.m. and lass through Friday evening. High pressure will remain in place through Friday, and highs will be running between 105 and 110 through then, with a slight drop in highs

Highs were in the upper-nineties over the weekend, and will hit that level again later today, but by tomorrow, the Valley will once again feel the summer-like heat with an Excessive Heat Watch likely to become a warning. Today, we’ll flirt with triple digits, but numbers will be similar to the weekend. Into the remainder
Continue Reading As we kick off the weekend, highs have cooled a bit (not a lot, still above the normal of 88). It will feel better this weekend as we avoid triple digits for a bit thanks to a week trough and more onshore flow. Highs today will hit 98 or so, which is a five degree
Continue Reading High temperatures will drop a few degrees today, and again tomorrow into the weekend as a weak trough brings cooling and partly cloudy skies today. The trough brings some clouds into play early today, but expect those to clear out this afternoon. We remain under an Excessive Heat Warning through 9 p.m. After yesterday’s 105,
Continue Reading High pressure still controls the weather on the West Coast, keeping us hotter than normal by as much as 10-20 degrees, and the Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect through tomorrow evening. That area of high pressure begins to slide farther South and East, allowing modestly cooler air to filter in from the West. Highs

The record high of 106 (set in 2013) for both today and tomorrow appears to be in danger of being tied or broken as highs soar today to some of the hottest levels we’ve seen all year. An Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect until Thursday at 9 p.m. It’s important to remember your hot-weather
Continue Reading After a bout of gusty winds last night, we’ll be cooler than the 105 we clocked yesterday, but triple digits are still the main ingredient in the forecast all the way through the week ahead. An Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect until 9 AM Thursday. High pressure will build back in today, keeping highs
Continue Reading After tying the previous record at Thermal yesterday (101), we’re likely to see more of those near-record triple digits all weekend and well into next week. For that reason, a Heat Advisory (not for the Valley) remains in effect in the Inland Empire and coastal areas. High pressure is the culprit and will remain in
Continue Reading Yesterday, the numbers were impressive, and the hottest thus far this year, but today we’ll see triple digits instead of high-nineties (98 PSP, 99 TRM yesterday). A Heat Advisory has been issued for areas to our West including the Inland Empire, Orange, San Diego and Los Angeles counties, but we are not presently included in
Continue Reading Low pressure is moving out, high pressure is moving in, and we’re expecting a major warm up as all that happens. This broad blocking ridge of high pressure will push temps in the middle nineties this afternoon, and hotter thereafter. With triple digits back in the forecast, we’ll be close to records, but just shy
Continue Reading The winds have been very gusty despite the lack of a wind advisory, but those gusts remain steady at 25 to 40 mph. Whitewater, traditionally more windy, is holding true to that. A weak area of low pressure is sliding through, creating the instability and gusty conditions. It will be far enough away tomorrow for

Some gusty winds around the valley thanks to an area of low pressure to our North which is bringing rain to the central coast, and winds elsewhere… Expect winds today to be between 15 mph and 25 mph, particularly closer to the freeway in the wind-prone areas of the valley. Highs will be near seasonal
Continue Reading Expect partly cloudy skies today as weak low pressure system moves through, bringing some gusty winds, and dropping daytime highs by about ten degrees from yesterday’s temps. Wind speeds may reach 25mph on the Valley floor, with 40mph gusts possible North of the freeway as we move through the afternoon and evening. Even Saturday remains
