Local Forecast

It’s going to be yet another fantastic day here in the Coachella Valley and a day of great weather as we say farewell to 2024. We are tracking a weak offshore wind pattern over the next few days as high pressure continues to build into southern California from our southwest. Looking at our temperature outlook,

After a couple of “cooler” days, the Coachella Valley is looking at a very subtle shift in our weather pattern, with continued dry conditions expected throughout the region, but now another small warmup to welcome in the new year. There is an Air Quality Alert right now in effect until 1pm for portions of Riverside

Taking a look at our out-the-door forecast, we can see an expected high-temperature today in the mid to upper 70s. Yes, this is above average for this time of year, but by no means is it uncomfortable. Partly why we’re warming up so much is due to the lack of clouds again today. Our temperature

Clear skies means plenty of sunshine here in the Coachella Valley, which has made for another beautiful day as we wrap up the final weekend of 2024! Temperatures have been a bit warmer than yesterday thanks to the lack of cloud cover. Some wind gusts may be on the rise later Sunday evening for wind-prone

After several days of cloudy weather, we are finally tracking some clearer skies this morning. As a result, we will warm up more throughout the day. Skies will remain predominantly clear for the rest of 2024. A few clouds may join us on Tuesday, but high pressure will build across the southwest which will lead

We’ve been tracking an abundance of upper level clouds over the Coachella Valley today! We recorded a high of 75° in Palm Springs today. Overall, it was another very pleasant day here in the desert. We’re expecting less clouds tomorrow, and in turn, slightly warmer temperatures. It’s been notably dry since our water year began

Just like over the last few days, we are continuing to track a good amount of upper level clouds cover over the Coachella Valley. These clouds serve to block sunlight from reaching the surface, therefore preventing us from warming up as much as we otherwise would. As a result, I have bumped down our temperature

We are tracking another round of upper-level clouds moving across the state today. A number of small systems will pass to our north. That, combined with some broad high pressure closer to home is helping to steer the clouds in our direction. While the systems to the north will not have much of an impact

Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah! This evening we’re looking nice, a little cooler though with temperatures dipping into the low 50s as a weak upper ridge builds over southern California. The night will be clear and crisp with light winds. Looking ahead to the next week, our mild and dry prevail, with highs in the

A low-pressure system moving through California will bring cooler temperatures and gusty winds to the region. Expect SW winds to increase this evening, with gusts up to 50 mph in the mountains and potentially 60 mph in some areas. A Wind Advisory is in place from 4pm to midnight tonight. While the Palm Springs and

Highs were a bit cooler than we expected this afternoon! Upper-level clouds hung over the Coachella Valley today, which capped our temperatures in Palm Springs at 75° for today – closer to seasonal averages than we had thought. Less of these clouds are expected for tomorrow, so temperatures should warm as we start the week.

Yesterday was the winter solstice, marking the formal (astronomical) start of winter. The earth’s tilt is responsible for giving us seasons. In the northern hemisphere, we are tilted slightly away from the sun. This marks our coolest part of the year and marks the shortest day/longest night of our year. We are tracking an area

Another exceptionally warm late December day in Palm Springs as the Coachella Valley continues our unusually mild trend with temperatures breaking records the last two days. Yesterday and Wednesday, we hit 85 degrees, and today, we’re likely to surpass the 82-degree mark set as the record for this date. We’ve already tied it as of
