The National Weather Service is forecasting a gradual warming trend fr the Imperial Valley this week.

You can expect temperatures returning to the mid 90's by midweek and upper 90's to near the century mark by late week. Overnight lows will continue in the upper 60's to low 70's. A tropical storm in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico may bring an increased chance of showers and thunderstorms by Thursday or Friday but those chances are no more than 20 percent at this time. The slight chance of precipitation should pass by next weekend.
