Your SoCal Weather Briefing on Thursday, March 20, 2025!

The Coachella Valley will experience a sunny afternoon with dry air, breezy winds and near-normal high temperatures in the lower-80s. But after today, Ma Nature slowly turns-up our outdoor thermostat.

Those Valley temps move into the upper-80s on Friday, Saturday and Sunday under clear skies.

Then -- as an upper-level ridge of high pressure parks itself over the Southwest next week -- Valley temperatures will move into the middle-90s for most of next week.
