A hot & humid Labor Day in the desert
It has been a hot and humid Labor Day in the desert! Plenty of sunshine has been with us through this Monday as temperatures climbed near the seasonal average (105°) this afternoon. Though it felt hotter due to the added moisture.
A Heat Advisory is in effect for the Inland Empire until 8:00 p.m. Monday. An Excessive Heat Warning is now in effect for the High Desert, including Yucca Valley and Twentynine Palms, through Wednesday evening. A warning begins for portions of eastern Joshua Tree National Park and Chuckwalla Valley Tuesday morning, scheduled until 8:00 p.m. Wednesday. Temperatures there could climb as high as 115°!
Dew point temperatures have remained elevated through the day. It'll be quite "soupy" out there for many in the valley and similar conditions can be expected on Tuesday.
Monsoonal moisture will be lingering through the week, bringing increased storm chances to Riverside County Thursday and Friday.
