Near-normal temperatures will continue across the Coachella Valley through the weekend as monsoonal moisture slowly decreases.

It is a wet, humid, and relatively cool day here in the Coachella Valley. We saw a big push of rain earlier in the day, with Palm Springs seeing just over two-tenths of an inch of rain. Some places in the east valley, like Indio, have seen just under half an inch of rain. Between

THOUSAND PALMS, Calif. (KESQ) – The monsoonal moisture and cooler temperatures have left the area (for now). That’s making way for a much sunnier and summerlike holiday weekend! A few clouds have remained aloft surrounding the valley, but we’re seeing a lot more sunshine than we did for most of the week. That’s helped our
