Warm temps stick around before return of marine layer clouds across SoCal
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Southern California will see a couple more warm days before a cooldown moves in just in time for the weekend.
An air quality alert is in effect for most of the region with multiple wildfires burning in several counties.
High temperatures will peak through Thursday. Many areas will see highs in the mid-to-upper 80s, a little warmer than average for this time of year.
By Thursday evening into Friday, temperatures will begin to cool thanks to an onshore flow, which will also bring heavy marine layer clouds. Temperatures will continue to drop heading into the weekend.
Los Angeles and Orange counties on Wednesday will see sunshine with a high of 86 degrees and a low of 59. Temperatures will drop back to the upper-70s by Friday and continue to drop over the weekend.
The valleys and Inland Empire on Wednesday can expect sunny skies with windy conditions in the canyons, with a high of 90 degrees and a low of 55. Temperatures will hit the upper-80s on Thursday before a cooldown begins on Friday.
Beaches on Wednesday will see cloudy skies in the morning and sunshine later in the day, with a high of 73 degrees and a low of 58.
Mountain communities on Wednesday can expect sunshine with a high of 68 degrees and a low of 32.
