A hot close to the weekend ahead of a sticky workweek
It is staying brutally hot in the Coachella Valley today. As of 3:45, temperatures are mostly above 110°F. You'll notice some cooler temperatures in the east valley. This is due to the elevated humidity levels the farther south you move.

We are staying hot and humid in the week ahead. Along with the heat warning, a big push of monsoonal moisture will move into the valley starting Monday. This will increase the potential for cumulus clouds over the local mountains, with the greatest chance for thunderstorms on Tuesday and Wednesday.
