March 10, 2026 3:43 am
Southern California Overview:
- Inland warming will begin today with greater warming for all areas for Wednesday and Thursday with widespread record heat for most areas for Thursday and Friday. Onshore flow will bring some cooling for the coast into the valleys during the weekend while the deserts continue to slowly warm. This long-duration heat wave for the deserts, valleys, and inland coastal areas will continue for much of next week.
- Widespread showers and thunderstorms with a severe weather and flash flood risk expected across the Midwest and central/southern Plains Tuesday. Continued active pattern for the Pacific Northwest into the northern Rockies will bring heavy lower elevation/coastal rain and high elevation snow through at least mid-week. Well above average, Spring-like temperatures continue for much of the eastern U.S. with numerous daily record-tying/breaking highs possible.
