Riverside–San Bernardino is looking at a sunny, warm Friday with a high near 84°F and west winds of 5 to 15 mph with gusts as high as 25 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
It’s a beautiful day to get outside, but those gusty conditions mean you’ll want to secure any loose outdoor furniture or decorations. If you’re heading to Angel Stadium this Saturday or Sunday to catch the Los Angeles Angels vs. New York Mets series, expect similar pleasant conditions—sunny skies and highs in the mid-80s both days. Grab a Los Angeles Angels jersey or Los Angeles Angels fitted cap to show your support, and consider getting tickets on SeatGeek or Find tickets on StubHub to lock in your spot.
For those planning outdoor activities across the Inland Empire—whether it’s a hike near Joshua Tree or a day at one of our local parks—today and Saturday are prime time. The National Weather Service notes that weak high pressure will keep temperatures 5 to 10 degrees above average through the weekend. However, Sunday brings a significant shift: a low-pressure system moving down the California coast will cool things off, dropping highs to the low-to-mid 70s and bringing a slight chance of light showers late Sunday night into early next week.
If you’ve got outdoor gear you’re planning to use this weekend, now’s the time. Consider investing in a pop-up canopy tent with weights or outdoor furniture covers to protect your setup from those gusty winds—especially if you’re tailgating or setting up for a longer stay. A bungee cord assortment is also handy for securing anything that might catch the breeze.
Tonight will cool to around 56°F with mostly clear skies, so if you’re planning an evening activity, bring a light jacket. Allergy season is in full swing across Southern California, so if you’re sensitive to pollen, grab Claritin non-drowsy allergy or Zyrtec 24 hour allergy 90 count to stay comfortable while you’re out and about.
Perfect grilling weather is here—fire up the grill for burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob. Make sure you have an instant-read meat thermometer and grill brush and scraper set ready to go. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Looking ahead: Enjoy the sunshine today and Saturday, but prepare for cooler, potentially damp conditions by Sunday. The next few days will see temperatures dip below average, so save those outdoor plans for this weekend.
