Heat and humidity persist into Saturday

Thunderstorms developed over San Diego and Riverside County mountains once again Friday afternoon.
Some impressive rainfall for our local mountains, including 0.20" recorded at Windy Point in the Coachella Valley!

A ridge of high pressure will continue to influence our desert weather with above-normal temperatures and added humidity.

The placement of the ridge will continue to steer moisture into Southern California for the start of the weekend. Dew point temperatures will hang in the 60s Saturday afternoon. Slow drying will take place Sunday and continue into early next week.

The Heat Advisory for the Inland Empire and Riverside County mountains, below 6,000', has been extended until Sunday night. High temperatures could climb as high as 102°. An Excessive Heat Warning remains in place for eastern Riverside County through Monday evening.

A quick check on the tropics shows Tropical Storm Olaf is forecast to weaken into the weekend as it steers away from Baja California.
