More heat for Sunday, Aug 6th forecast
Gorgeous weather continues across the region as high pressure dominates the Western United States. A very weak onshore flow is helping to keep light fog and very mild temperatures in place for the coast. Inland areas have warmed up once again and Heat Advisories are in place ifor iinland valleys and foothills through the weekend. Breezy and even gusty northerly winds could deliver another Wind Advisory for portions of the South Coast through early Sunday. Patchy fog is expected for our coastal areas and lows will be in the 50's and 60's for most areas. Temperatures for Sunday will stay nice and mild with mostly 70's for our beach communities. Inland areas will once again be toasty with highs in the 90's and triple digits.
Looking ahead, high pressure to our east will weaken and drift farther east starting on Monday. This will open the door to a stronger onshore flow and much appreciated cooling for inland areas. By Tuesday and Wednesday, all inland areas should see highs back in the normal range of 80's and 90's. Now comes the fun part of next week's forecast and that is Tropical Storm Eugene. Right now the storm is just south of the tip of Baja and is expected to slowly move up toward Southern California. This will need to be watched closely as we should see at least a healthy dose of tropical moisture move our way. For now, we will keep any predictions for rain or thunder on the back burner and just look forward to a mostly quiet week ahead. But, while tropical weather is pretty rare in part of the world, it's not out of the question and we will be vigilant with our radars. If the need to add rain or thunder becomes relevant, we will update quickly, so stay tuned!
