If you like warm weather, you’re going to love this weekend.

Inland valley temperatures are forecast to climb from today’s 70-ish readings into the mid-80s in the warmest areas Saturday and Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.

Daytime temperatures in the mountains this weekend will range from the low 60s to low 70s, forecasters say. The warming trend also will bring breezy weather, mainly below the Cajon Pass, though wind speeds should remain below the advisory level.

A decrease in temperatures and a renewal of the morning marine layer is expected about Tuesday, according to current forecasts.

Temperature records on this date in the Inland area include 98 degrees set in Palm Springs in 2004 and 8 degrees in Big Bear Lake in 1963.

In 1991, a four-day storm ended on this date after dropping up to eight inches of rain in the lower elevations and up to 14 inches in the mountains. Tornadoes hit Riverside and the Muscoy area of San Bernardino.
