HAPPINESS
IS A WARM CUP
Southern California Overview:
- The heat wave has ended due to a weather disturbance moving through Northern California, bringing cooler and breezier weather for mountains and deserts into Saturday. Strongest wind conditions for Saturday afternoon and evening. Dry air has moved in from the north and will continue to spread southward resulting in lower humidity and has ended the monsoon. Greater coverage of morning low clouds is expected for coastal areas over the weekend with the low clouds becoming patchier again next week. Also for next week, there will be a gradual warming trend along with a slow increase in humidity. There is uncertainty when the next threat for thunderstorms occurs but slight chance is in the forecast for late next week.
- Scattered showers and thunderstorms continue across portions of the South and Mississippi Valley this weekend with the risk for some flash flooding. Hot weather is in store across portions of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest ahead of a cold front bringing the threat of severe thunderstorms on Saturday and heavy downpours on Sunday. Monsoonal thunderstorms continue for portions of the Intermountain West with isolated flash flooding possible.
