Riverside–San Bernardino is looking at a beautiful sunny day today with highs near 78°F—right around average for late April. This is prime weather for getting outside, whether you’re heading to the Inland Empire’s parks, planning a trip to Joshua Tree, or simply enjoying your backyard.
Today through Thursday, you’re in a dry, stable weather window.

The National Weather Service forecasters note there’s virtually no rain chance—less than 2% through Thursday night—so you can confidently plan outdoor activities without worrying about a washout.

Looking ahead, Friday and Saturday will warm up even more—highs climbing into the lower to mid-80s for the Inland Empire, with the lower deserts pushing toward 90°F. However, a cooling trend arrives Sunday through Tuesday as a low-pressure system moves into California. By Tuesday, highs could drop 10–15 degrees below average for the mountains, and there’s a slight chance of showers. That’s when you’ll want to have rain pants waterproof on hand if you’re planning outdoor work.
For tonight’s dinner, keep it simple with a classic grilled steak or tri-tip on your portable propane grill—the calm winds and mild evening temps (dropping to 52°F) are perfect for outdoor cooking.

Stay dry and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts—the pattern shifts by early next week.
