Scorching Heat Wave Hits the Valley: Excessive Heat Warning in Effect Through Tuesday

Prepare for a hot and humid weekend with an excessive heat warning from Saturday through Tuesday, possibly extending further. Today's high is 110°F, slightly above the normal 108°F, with a record high of 119°F set in 1946. Tomorrow, temperatures will soar due to a low-pressure system on the coast and high pressure to the east, creating monsoonal moisture. Tonight's lows are 84°F in Thousand Palms, 79°F in Cabazon, and a cool 72°F in Big Bear. Tomorrow's highs will reach triple digits across the board, with 116°F in Cathedral City. Expect a warm start to the morning with temperatures at 91°F by 7 AM and 102°F by 9 AM. The seven-day forecast shows peak heat at 117°F on Sunday, with only slight cooling afterward and high overnight lows.

Palm Springs is mourning the loss of beloved entertainer James “Gypsy” Haake, who has died at 94. Haake began his entertainment career at just 19 years old as a Broadway chorus dancer. After retiring from the stage, he returned to performing at 82, becoming the host of Carnival Cabaret at Oscars in downtown Palm Springs.
