.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...

Visible satellite at 1 PM was showing areas of high clouds across
the area. An upper level high pressure system will continue to
expand west into Thursday, becoming more centered over Southern
California. The high pressure aloft will keep the marine layer
shallower and any additional influx in moisture will keep any marine
layer low cloud coverage patchy and confined to coastal areas
tonight into Thursday morning.

With the upper level high expanding west across Southern California
through Thursday, above average temperatures are expected for inland
locations. Highs through Thursday are expected to be 5 to 10 degrees
above average for inland locations. High temperatures will range
from the 70s near the coast; to the 90s to 105 for the Inland
Empire; and 114 to 118 for the lower deserts. In the mountains below
5000 ft, highs are expected to be in the mid-80 to upper 90s.
Widespread moderate HeatRisk is expected for the valleys and
mountains, with widespread major HeatRisk in the low deserts. Make
sure you`re staying hydrated, seeking shade, and avoiding strenuous
activity during the hottest parts of the day if possible.

High pressure aloft will remain over Southern California Friday into
early next week, but will weaken slightly and continue to move
westward over the Pacific. Highs on Friday are expected to be 4 to 8
degrees cooler than Thursday across the area. For the weekend into
the middle of next week, there will be minor day to day fluctuations
in highs temperatures. NBM high temperatures for the coast and
valleys are forecast to be up to 5 degrees below average with the
deserts around 5 degrees above average. The marine layer will deepen
Sunday through Tuesday with night and morning low clouds extending
inland to the western valleys through the middle of next week.
