SYNOPSIS

26/208 AM.

Hotter than normal conditions will continue for the foreseeable future, generally hottest through Sunday. Slightly cooler Monday through Thursday, with heat increasing again Friday and Saturday. The hot daytime and warm night conditions will bring elevated risks of heat-related illness.

LONG TERM (WED-SAT)

26/149 AM.

High pressure aloft will continue to dominate through next weekend. Still expecting the slight drop in temperatures to continue through Thursday as the core of the high settles over New Mexico/Texas. The majority of ensemble projections then have the high strengthening some while sliding back towards California Friday through Saturday. Temperatures will likely creep back up 3 to 5 degrees overall. Heat Advisories are not out of the question, but also not a given based on the under performance of the current heat event. That warming will be focused mainly over the coastal areas as the onshore pressure gradients will likely change little.
