An NBC Palm Springs Weather Heads-Up on Saturday, February 28, 2026!

The Coachella Valley will experience very warm, above-normal high weather today as peak temperatures reside in the middle-to-upper 90s. Like yesterday, there will be quite a few record highs set this afternoon.

You can expect another sunny day on Sunday with very warm temps in the middle-90s.

As a trough of low pressure approaches us on Monday, on-shore winds will become stronger, especially through the San Gorgonio Pass and Desert Hot Springs areas. Still, those wind-prone areas of the Valley will also experience occasionally gusty winds.

This frontal boundary will not provide any precipitation, by it will play a role in chipping-away at those midday temps. The Coachella Valley will experience highs in the upper-80s on Monday, middle-80s on Tuesday.

Looking at a couple of long-range forecasts, there is a chance an upper-level low will move through the Southwest next weekend -- March 7 and 8 -- triggering scattered SoCal showers, providing gusty West winds and pulling-down those midday temps. This outlook will be adjusted over the next few days... so, stay tuned.
