Riverside and San Bernardino are in for a sunny, dry Tuesday with a high near 93°F, so if you’ve got errands or yardwork, knock them out before early afternoon while it’s still comfortable. West wind runs 0 to 15 mph with gusts as high as 25 mph, so secure loose patio furniture and hats before you head out.
Today’s Setup
The National Weather Service has Tuesday sunny with a high near 93°F, cooling to a low around 68°F tonight under mostly clear skies. Forecasters note the Inland Empire is seeing slow, steady warming today into Wednesday, when highs climb to near 95°F under sunny skies with west wind 0 to 10 mph.
Best Window To Be Outside
Morning through late morning is the sweet spot — think a walk around Fairmount Park or an early nine at a local course before the afternoon heat builds. Golfers should tee off as early as possible; a golf rangefinder helps you play faster and get off the course before the hottest hours hit.
Heat Trend Into Thursday
This is the part to plan around: the NWS discussion warns of a much bigger warm-up starting Thursday, with widespread moderate to locally major HeatRisk through the weekend across the inland valleys and mountains below 6,500 feet. Start hydrating now, check on elderly neighbors once the heat ramps up, and shift outdoor chores to early morning by midweek.
What To Wear Or Bring
A UV protection sun hat is worth having in the car for anything outdoors, and if you’re fighting the dry heat’s effect on your hair, an anti-frizz hair serum helps. If a pool or lake day is on the agenda before it gets hotter, the 2-Person Intex Floating Lounge with Cooler is a smart, cheap grab this week.
Game Day & Concert Outlook
The Los Angeles Angels host the St. Louis Cardinals at Angel Stadium on Wednesday, July 22 — expect sunny, warm conditions for the game, so tailgaters should hydrate and seek shade. Grab a Los Angeles Angels jersey or Los Angeles Angels fitted cap, and check tickets on SeatGeek or tickets on StubHub if you’re heading out. Locally, Imagine Dragons plays Yaamava Resort & Casino in Highland on Thursday, July 23 (21 and over) — read our Imagine Dragons at Yaamava Resort & Casino coverage and grab an Imagine Dragons t-shirt, Imagine Dragons hoodie, or Imagine Dragons hat before the show.
Dinner Tonight
With clear skies and a light breeze, tonight is perfect grilling weather — fire up the grill for burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob. An instant-read meat thermometer and a grill brush and scraper set make cleanup and doneness easy. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Next Few Days
Wednesday stays sunny near 95°F, then Thursday brings the real heat jump the NWS is watching closely, with major HeatRisk building through the weekend across the Inland Empire. There’s also a slight chance of afternoon mountain showers Thursday and a slight chance of mountain showers and thunderstorms Friday — nothing widespread, but worth watching if you’re headed up toward Big Bear.
