Southern California Overview:
- High pressure aloft and weak offshore flow will bring record- setting heat today. A return of onshore flow on Saturday will begin to spread cooler marine air inland but with record-setting heat continuing for many areas on Saturday. Cooling will continue through Monday, but with high temperatures remaining above average. There will be stronger and gusty west winds for Sunday and Monday afternoon and evening in the mountains and deserts with gusts 30 to 40 mph in the wind-prone areas. A little warmer and continued dry for Tuesday through Thursday of next week.
- Record warmth across the Southwest including Los Angeles as arctic air surges across the norther tier states. Light snow will move quickly across the northern tier states before wintry precipitation develops over the central Plains on Sunday. Showers and thunderstorms will move off the Southeast U.S. coast tonight but they will linger into the weekend for the Sunshine State.
