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!

More than 2,000 rescues — and the year isn’t over yet. Santa Clemente lifeguards are keeping a close eye on the Pacific as they prepare for potentially stronger surf and bigger waves this winter. From Tower Zero, lifeguards monitor the entire beach and use cameras to spot trouble in the water. One of their biggest concerns? Rip currents, which can pull swimmers far from shore. With more rescues already this year than all of last year, lifeguards say the key is simple: be ready before someone needs help. #SanClemente #Lifeguards #OceanSafety #RipCurrents #BeachSafety SurfSafety SouthernCalifornia PacificOcean NBCPalmSprings
