HAPPINESS
IS A WARM CUP
May 18, 2025 6:40 am
Southern California Overview:
- Cool and cloudy with chances of light rain and drizzle west of the mountains this morning. Conditions dry off this afternoon and remain so through this week. As the low pressure trough moves east over the next several days, a ridge develops quickly warming temperatures and rendering a shallower marine layer. Periods of locally gusty offshore winds are expected Monday morning through Monday afternoon. Temperatures go from below normal today to near or above normal tomorrow. Wednesday and Thursday will likely be the warmest days, with daytime temperatures reaching the mid ninties in the inland valleys. A little cooler for next weekend as another low pressure trough moves in from the northwest.
- Multiday severe weather and flash flooding threat to begin across the central United States today. Summerlike and potentially dangerous heat continues across parts of South Texas and Florida. Critical fire weather conditions forecast across much of southern New Mexico and West Texas.
