Triple digits return to the desert

Triple digits are back in the desert! Today brings Palm Springs to its 7th 100°+ day of 2021. 101° was recorded both in Palm Springs and Thermal.

Temperatures will remain warm through the night, only cooling into the low 70s early Thursday morning.

These warmer-than-normal temperatures are being aided by a ridge of high pressure that will remain over the west coast for the remainder of the workweek.

Afternoon highs in the low 100s are expected through Friday before returning to more seasonable temperatures on Saturday. Gusty west winds will begin Friday night and strengthen into the weekend. Further cooling near 90° forecast for Sunday.
