RIVERSIDE >> The Goodyear Blimp is expected to fly over Riverside late Monday afternoon or early in the evening, officials said.

On Friday the blimp passed over Riverside on the way to a golf tournament in the Phoenix area. It will be returning to its home base in Carson on Monday, said Priscilla Tasker, a public relations specialist who handles information about the blimp.

Travel time for a blimp is hard to predict because weather conditions are a significant factor for its travel, she said.
