Warmer-than-normal temperatures persist into the weekend

Above-average temperatures continue to be a big part of April's weather story. Afternoon highs climbed into the upper 90s yet again for the third day in a row. Palm Springs reached 97°. Thermal reached 99°.

As a result, temperatures were slow to cool through the evening hours. Whatever your Friday night plans entail, you'll have warm, dry, and mostly clear conditions across the Coachella Valley that will continue into Saturday morning.

Temperatures 10-15° above average will persist through the weekend. Plenty of sunshine for the desert on Saturday but clouds will join on Sunday.
