Sunshine & 80s in store for Rest of Week

Palm Springs will stay warm and sunny through the end of the week, with daytime high temperatures running well above average for mid to late December. A light breeze is possible this evening but otherwise very pleasant and mild weather is on deck through the remainder of the week. 

Over the weekend, things cool down just a touch, but it will still feel more like early fall than winter. Winter Solstice officially arrives Sunday, December 21st. 

By early next week, our weather pattern starts to shift as a storm system approaches from the west, bringing a growing chance for rain by mid next week. Models still need to be refined for accurate timing and possible rainfall totals, but our FutureTrack models give us some indication that rain chances are starting to increase Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We'll be keeping a close eye on it in the coming days.

The best chance for more meaningful rain around Southern California looks to arrive around Christmas, which could put a damp twist on holiday plans—right now rain accumulations look limited, but we’ll keep you up to date.
