SoCal heats up, with several days of warm weather and sunshine ahead
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Southern California is heating up as a ridge of high pressure moves into the region.
Still, a sagging trough of low pressure is bringing marine air into the region, meaning many areas will see clouds in the morning before the sunshine burns off the marine layer.
Many areas are seeing temperatures eight to 10 degrees warmer than average for this time of year. Some areas are expected to see highs in the upper-80s or even low-90s throughout much of the week.
Then, an onshore flow returns heading into the weekend, bringing a cooldown with the return of thicker marine layer clouds.
Los Angeles and Orange counties on Tuesday will see clouds in the morning followed by afternoon sunshine, with a high of 76 degrees and a low of 59. Conditions will be similar for the next few days, with temperatures cooling a few degrees by the weekend.
The valleys and Inland Empire on Tuesday can expect sunshine with a high of 85 degrees and a low of 52. Highs are expected to climb to the low-90s by Wednesday and Thursday before a significant cooldown begins on Friday.
Beaches on Tuesday will see a mix of clouds and sunshine, with a high of 70 degrees and a low of 60.
Mountain communities can expect sunshine on Tuesday with a high of 77 degrees and a low of 39. Temperatures will continue to climb a few degrees throughout the week, reaching a high of 80 degrees by Wednesday and Thursday.
The deserts will be sunny on Tuesday, with a high of 91 degrees and a low of 59. Temperatures in Palm Springs are expected to reach 102 degrees.
