Heat relief finally moves into SoCal. Here's how low temps will drop

Southern California will see a much-needed cooldown this week, bringing temperatures back down to a near-normal range after weeks of scorching heat.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Southern California will see a much-needed cooldown this week, bringing temperatures back down to a near-normal range after weeks of scorching heat.

A Coastal Flood Advisory is in place for our coastal communities through 12 a.m. Thursday with very strong tides in the forecast.

We are finally tracking cooler temperatures. The weather pattern is turning more onshore as high pressure weakens and low pressure is introduced back into the forecast.

This shift will help cool things down and bring temperatures back down to where we should be for this time of year, or even slightly below average.

Los Angeles and Orange counties on Wednesday will see clouds in the morning followed by afternoon sunshine, with a high of 82 degrees and a low of 66. Temperatures will keep gradually dropping, hitting the upper-70s by Thursday and Friday.

The valleys and Inland Empire can expect sunshine and a high of 89 degrees on Wednesday, with a low of 64. Temperatures will cool to the mid-80s by Thursday and Friday.

Beach communities on Wednesday can expect clouds in the morning followed by afternoon sunshine, with a high of 75 degrees and a low of 68. Expect similar conditions for the next several days.

Mountain communities on Wednesday will see a high of 77 degrees and a cooler overnight low of 49. The overnight lows will continue to drop over the next few days.

Desert areas on Wednesday will see a high of 92 degrees and a low of 70. Palm Springs is expected to reach 104 degrees.
