918 AM PDT Sun Jul 6 2025

.SYNOPSIS...06/911 AM.

Temperatures will continue to be either below or near normal
through Monday. A noticeable warming trend will start Tuesday,
and heat will peak Wednesday and Thursday, with most temperatures
6 to 12 degrees above normal. Heat away from the coast may be
hazardous to anyone outdoors and those without air conditioning.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TDY-TUE)...06/917 AM.

***UPDATE***

Today and tomorrow will feel a lot like yesterday with highs near
to slightly below normal and night and morning low clouds and fog
for coast and some coastal valleys.

Latest models are trending less hot for the coming week but still
well above normal. Forecast highs may be lowered a few degrees
pending the rest of the model guidance coming in this morning.
With this in mind will likely not be issuing any heat hazards
today.

***From Previous Discussion***

Today and Monday, a weak low pressures system lingering just west
of the Bay Area, will keep temperatures several degrees below
normal, except for near normal for much of LA County. Starting
Tuesday, 500 mb heights will rapidly rise as warm high pressure
system over Arizona strengthens and expands into Southern
California. Temperatures will increase noticeably by 5 to 10
degrees everywhere except for low elevation coastal areas, where
onshore flow (our natural air conditioning) will moderate
temperatures. The warmest valleys will see temperatures on Tuesday
in the upper 90s, with 100-103 degrees common across the deserts.
Even inland coastal areas (including Downtown LA) will approach
90 degrees.

Areas of breezy (but likely below advisory level) winds will
continue each afternoon into night, with onshore west to southwest
winds across the interior (including the Antelope Valley), and
northwest Sundowner winds across southwestern Santa Barbara
County.

There remains a slight chance of monsoonal mositure reaching the
region, with the ECMWF AIFS Ensembles still hinting at PWATs near
or above 1 inch for southern areas. At this point, thunderstorms
chances are under 5 percent each day Tuesday and Wednesday,
focused over the Antelope Valley and San Gabriel mountains. More
likely, the mositure will result in some benign cumulus cloud
build-ups over the highest mountains peaks.

.LONG TERM (WED-SAT)...06/348 AM.

This week`s heatwave is expected to peak Wednesday and Thursday,
when the ridge will be strongest over the region. The temperature
forecast remains on track, and confidence is trending upwards,
though there remains some uncertainty in exact values. The most
likely scenario sees temperatures reaching 95-105 degrees across
the warmer valleys, 103-107 across the deserts, and mid 80s to mid
90s for inland coastal plains/valleys. Most areas will be 6 to 12
degrees warmer than normal for this time of year. Heat away from
the coast may be hazardous to outdoor workers and those without
air conditioning.

Heat Advisories may be issued for the warmest areas (inland
valleys), with slight chances for any Extreme Heat
Watches/Warnings. The overall HeatRisk currently shows Moderate
heat impacts for most areas, except for the beaches. The final
decision on heat products may wait until early this week.

Small increases in onshore flow and decreasing high pressure,
should bring at least a few degrees of cooling for many areas each
day Friday and Saturday. However, some interior areas like the
Antelope Valley and interior SLO/SB Counties may remain well above
normal.

of SCA level winds each afternoon and evening through mid-week
across western and southern portions of the Santa Barbara Channel.
Local gusts up to 21 kts may occur near Point Dume, and into the
