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

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

It’s an unusually cloudy day here in the Coachella Valley as a thick blanket of clouds sits overhead. This is because of the remnants of Tropical Storm Juliette. The associated moisture has been pushed into Southern California throughout the day. The cloud cover is helping to keep our temperature well below average, with highs only

Today is notably warmer compared to yesterday; however, it is still on the humid side. We are still tracking the cumulus clouds above the mountains with mostly sunny skies aside from that.
