LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The heat continues as a high-pressure system remains over Southern California, but a slight cooldown on the way will offer some relief.
With temperatures mostly high across the Los Angeles area, the high pressure means our typical June gloom conditions won't be as strong this week. Expect clouds to clear up earlier than usual, making way for sunny, hot days.
A slight cool down arrives Thursday and Friday, lowering temperatures just in time for the weekend, though most areas will just see temperatures lower by just a few degrees.
Los Angeles and Orange counties Wednesday will see a high of 88 and a low of 62 with sunny skies. Temperatures will be in the 70s by the weekend.
The valleys and Inland Empire Wednesday will see a high of 98 and a low of 61 with sunny skies. Temperatures will begin dipping into the 80s beginning Thursday.
The beaches Wednesday will see a high of 75 amid morning fog, and a low of 61. Highs in the 60s are expected by the weekend.
The mountains Wednesday will have a high of 86 and a low of 48. Highs will dip back into the 70s by the weekend.
Deserts Wednesday will see a high of 105 degrees with a low of 65. Palm Springs is expected to reach 118 degrees on Wednesday. Temperatures are expected to be in the 80s this weekend.
