Scorching Temperatures Across the Region
RIVERSIDE (CNS) – Dangerously hot conditions are in the forecast again Friday in the Riverside County valleys and desert communities with highs expected over 110 degrees over the weekend, forecasters said.
An excessive heat warning is in effect through Monday evening throughout the Riverside County valleys.
“All inland areas will be heating up,” the NWS posted on social media. “We’ve been hinting at some hot weather expected later this week. Our confidence is increasing in seeing highs near 10 to locally 15 degrees above average. The time is now to prepare for the incoming hot weather!”
The hot, dry weather will also create elevated fire conditions across the mountains, valleys and deserts this week.
Friday’s high in Palm Springs are expected between 112 and 120 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Palm Springs’ city-operated cooling centers remain open at Demuth Community Center, James O. Jessie Desert Highland Unity Center and the Palm Springs Public Library through the end of September. More information is available at EngagePalmSprings.com.
