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,

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 Palm Springs hit 105° today! That makes it the hottest day of 2020 so far and the triple digits aren’t going away just yet. We’re about 15° above seasonal average, which is why an Excessive Heat Warning is in place for the Coachella Valley. That warning has been extended through 9 p.m. on Thursday with
Continue Reading Yesterday, Palm Springs got one degree shy of the record. The high temperature reached 103° and the record was 104° set back in 1926. Today’s record is much higher, 109°. We will remain below the record today and below the average of 87°. The reason temperatures continue to stay warm is because of a ridge
Continue Reading Temperatures are staying in the triple digits for most of this upcoming week. That’s about 15° above seasonal average. Today, Palm Springs came up just one degree short of the record high set back in 1926. An Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect for the Coachella Valley through Sunday evening, with temperatures up to 105°
Continue Reading A ridge of high pressure will dominate the weather pattern this weekend and again next week. This ridge of high pressure, for Saturday, will leave temperatures near 15° above seasonal average. The average for Palm Springs today is 87°. The record high temperature for Palm Springs today is 104° set back in 1926. We will
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

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 Temperatures are slowly starting to warm up near seasonal average. That warming trend will continue this week, as high pressure moves in. Monday will be similar to today, with breezy conditions sticking around and temperatures remaining slightly below normal. Gusty conditions will continue through Tuesday morning. But, that high pressure is going to be strengthening
