Jerry's SoCal Weather Briefing on Monday, August 31, 2026!
The Coachella Valley will see lots of sunshine today with some humidity and slightly below-normal high temperatures around 104°.
You can expect cloud-free afternoons on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with much drier air and below normal highs closer to 100°.
On-shore winds will become a bit gusty around those wind-prone areas of SoCal during the late-afternoon/early evening hours today, tomorrow and possibly Wednesday.
Also -- after several days of humid conditions -- the Coachella Valley will begin to dry-out beginning tomorrow. See images for details.
I'm still keeping an eye on the Northeast Pacific as a Tropical Wave -- currently Southwest of Acapulco -- may develop into Tropical Storm (maybe Hurricane) Marie. Although confidence is low, there is still a chance a weakened Marie could bring showers over the Southwest over the Labor Day weekend.
Stay tuned!

New findings reveal what led to the death of Jackie, the beloved bald eagle from Big Bear Valley. A necropsy confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza (bird flu) as the primary cause of her decline. The infection caused a severe stomach ulcer, internal bleeding, anemia and a secondary bacterial infection. Testing also detected rat poison in Jackie’s liver, but officials say it was not identified as the primary cause of her death. Tests were negative for West Nile virus, and lead levels were within acceptable limits. Jackie’s mate, Shadow, remains in Big Bear Valley. Officials say there is no evidence that Shadow or the eaglets are sick.
