...HOT WEATHER EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA
TUESDAY THROUGH AT LEAST LATE THIS WEEK...
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT ALONG WITH WEAK ONSHORE GRADIENTS OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BRING A SIGNIFICANT WARMING TREND TO MOST AREAS
AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST. EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURES TO REACH
THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 105 FOR MOST VALLEY LOCATIONS TUESDAY
THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY...WITH THE HOTTEST DAYS EXPECTED TO BE
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THE LOS ANGELES BASIN AWAY FROM THE
IMMEDIATE COAST WILL ALSO EXPERIENCE HIGH TEMPERATURES INTO THE
MID 90S BY MID WEEK.
ALTHOUGH THERE IS A NEW HURRICANE OFF THE COAST OF MEXICO NAMED
LINDA...MOST MODELS KEEP THE BULK OF MOISTURE OFF TO THE WEST OF
OUR FORECAST AREA. SO WHILE EXCESSIVE HUMIDITY IS NOT EXPECTED
OVER THE AREA...TEMPERATURES WILL BE HIGH ENOUGH TO CREATE
POSSIBLE HEALTH RISKS FOR INFANTS...THE ELDERLY...OUTDOOR
WORKERS...OR THOSE PARTICIPATING IN STRENUOUS OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.
WITH THE COMBINATION OF VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES AND EXTREMELY DRY
VEGETATION THERE WILL ALSO BE ELEVATED FIRE DANGER DURING THIS
PERIOD.
