Temperatures staying warm midweek despite a stubborn marine layer

Temperatures are staying above average Wednesday. The coast will be in the 70s to low 80s, and inland in the 80s to low 90s.

With an increase in onshore flow, most coastal areas will step back a tad from the warming trend. However, there will be little difference overall. The marine layer may be dense in the morning, and struggle to clear from some beach areas.

Our ridge of high pressure will sit firmly over the state through the end of the work week. More offshore trends will return Friday, clearing skies faster and warming temperatures again.

We will wind up about 8 to 12 degrees above normal. Friday and Saturday will be the two warmest days of the next week.

An upper low moving into Baja by Friday will wobble our direction over the weekend and eventually displace our high. Temperatures will cool Sunday and into early next week.
