First Alert Forecast

Breezy and mild to start the work week

We’ve been extraordinarily lucky this June, with highs running well below seasonal averages, and today that continues. An area of low pressure up North is continuing to feed in cooler and breezier conditions through today and into tomorrow. Winds along the I-10 corridor will remain gusty through this evening, and will gradually ease by tomorrow

A modest warm-up for the weekend

We continue to see breezy conditions along with cooler-then-normal highs as an area of low pressure lingers up North. After yesterday’s high of 88, we’ll climb into the lower 90s later this afternoon. Evening winds will be gusty along the I-10 freeway corridor and in the traditionally wind-prone locations. We’ll see a modest warming trend

Breezy with cooler temps

An area of low pressure lingers to our North, keeping it breezy and cooler than normal for the rest of the week. The gusty winds of yesterday have slowed, but there are still pockets of gusty conditions that will last into this evening. A Wind Advisory was in place until 6 this morning for a

Warming into the weekend

Highs today will lag below normal, but we’re looking at triple digits for the weekend. An area of low pressure just to our East is encouraging some breezy conditions today. The cooler air is thinning out as we head toward tomorrow. Whatever your outdoor plans, expect midday temps to be fairly warm, and try to

June starts on a mild note

Winds eased overnight, but a Windblown Dust Advisory is posted by the South Coast Air Quality Management District until 6 a.m. tomorrow morning due to the potential for air quality issues thanks to blowing sand and dust. Thus far, the air quality remains in the “Good” range this morning. An area of low pressure is

Gusty to start the weekend

Gusty winds remain an issue this morning, prompting at least one road closure (Indian Canyon at the Wash) in Palm Springs. Breezy conditions, especially near the freeway, will continue into the evening hours but should ease into tomorrow. Cooler than normal daytime highs will mark the Holiday weekend as a cool air mass sinks in

Breezy with a slight cool-down

Winds will remain breezy throughout the day, with the strongest gusts closer to the I-10 corridor. A trough of low pressure up North will encourage those NW Winds along with some cooler temperatures. That trough ushers in at (or below) normal temps heading into the Memorial Day weekend. Expect daytime highs in the lower to

Staying humid today, drier conditions ahead

Slightly above average temperatures and additional moisture is elevating the chance for isolated thunderstorms once again today. However, any thunderstorm activity will likely be limited to isolated cells over the High Desert and area mountains through Monday. Staying hydrated remains important today as temperatures rise near the low 100s and extra moisture sticks around. Changes

Humid weekend, drier next week

We actually got a little bit of rain from thunderstorms moving across the region overnight last night, in the early morning hours as Doppler Radar demonstrates. Today, dew points and relatively humidity remain elevated, making things less comfortable for your weekend, and creating the chance for more storms later today. Moisture continues to flow in

Thunderstorms more likely later today

Humidity continues to increase as we head toward the weekend as an area of low pressure funnels monsoon moisture in our direction. Overnight, models indicate the potential for some significant storms throughout the region. Storms to the Southeast of the Valley could result in sandy and dusty conditions overnight. The humidity lingers across the Western

Humidity increases into the weekend

Monsoon moisture started to ease into the region yesterday afternoon, and we’ll see a bit more of that today into the weekend. An area of low pressure is pulling monsoonal flow in from the East. That moisture could contribute to the development of isolated Mountain and High Desert storms each afternoon. It will also make

Heat plus a little humidity

A little monsoonal moisture will start to leak in from Arizona later this afternoon, making things a bit less comfortable. That moisture will also offer up a small chance of Mountain and High Desert thunderstorms this afternoon. The monsoonal flow will likely continue through the end of the week. This will elevate dew points and

Warming up this weekend

A ridge of high pressure is warming things up across the Western U.S. We expect highs to top out near 100 today, and even warmer into the weekend. We could see a push of humidity by the middle of next week, which would bring temps down a bit. But plan on those 100s through early

Heating up in time for the weekend

High pressure is moving in and will help to boost temps over the next several days. With the Jetstream moving farther North, daytime highs are heading toward triple digits through the weekend and into early next week. Today we expect highs to reach seasonal norms, the lower 90s. We continue to see triple digits into
