Warm weekend on tap across SoCal as temperatures rise next week

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Southern California will gradually warm up this week, with a spike in temperatures expected by mid-week.

A combination of high pressure and offshore flow moving into the region is bringing gradually warmer temperatures.

By Tuesday into Wednesday, a larger area of high pressure will move into SoCal, causing temperatures to jump about 5 to 10 degrees by mid-week. The heat sticks around for a few days before another cooldown begins heading into next weekend.

Los Angeles and Orange counties on Sunday will see clouds in the morning followed by afternoon sunshine, with a high of 85 degrees and a low of 64. Temperatures will climb back to the low-90s by Wednesday.

The valleys and Inland Empire can expect mostly sunny skies on Sunday, with a high of 94 degrees and a low of 68. Temperatures will return to the triple digits by Wednesday.

Beach communities will see a mix of morning fog and afternoon sunshine on Sunday, with a high of 76 degrees and a low of 65.

Mountain communities on Sunday will see a 10% chance of thunderstorms, with a high of 78 degrees and a low of 49. Highs will heat up to the low-80s by mid-week.

Desert areas on Sunday can expect a high of 96 degrees and a low of 64. Palm Springs is expected to reach 106 degrees.
