SoCal weather: Warm weekend on tap as temperatures rise next week

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Southern California will see a warm weekend as temperatures start to gradually climb heading into next week.

A combination of high pressure and offshore flow moving into the region early next week brings warmer temperatures. The warming trend is expected to be most noticeable in inland areas, though temperatures are not expected to reach the levels seen during heat waves earlier this summer.

Overall, weekend temperatures are expected to remain near normal.

Los Angeles and Orange counties Saturday will see clouds in the morning followed by afternoon sunshine, with a high of 83 degrees and a low of 66. Temperatures climb to the upper 80s by mid-week.

The valleys and Inland Empire this weekend can expect afternoon sunshine and temperatures in the low 90s. Temperatures rise to the mid-90s by Tuesday.

Beach communities will see a mix of morning fog and afternoon sunshine this weekend. Expect temperatures in the mid-70s.

Mountain communities will have a 20% chance of thunderstorms Saturday, with a high of 76 and a low of 48. Similar conditions are expected Sunday before sunny weather returns early next week.

Desert areas Saturday will see a high of 91 and a low 60. Palm Springs is expected to reach 101 degrees.
