Weather Search Find the Weather for any City, State or ZIP Code, or Airport Code or Country Special Weather Statement Issued by the National Weather Service at 5:35 am PDT on May 17, 2008 ... Heat wave to continue through Monday... Strong high pressure over the West Coast and weak to moderate offshore flow will continue hot weather across the area through Monday. Daytime maximum temperatures will continue to rise into the 90s across most of the interior sections with isolated locations reporting temperatures to near 106 degrees through the weekend. The hottest temperatures above 100 degrees will likely occur in some foothill locations and across the valleys. Near record temperatures are expected to occur at the Los Angeles coasts today... with warmer than normal conditions continuing over the other coastal areas. Temperatures at the beaches south of Point Conception will climb into the mid 70s to upper 80s... while inland portions of the coastal plain will likely warm to near 95 locally. Records were tied or eclipsed in some valley and mountain locations on Friday. Near record highs are forecast again for the Valley... Mountain... and desert areas today and Sunday. In addition... near record high minimum temperatures are expected to occur tonight and possibly again Saturday night. By the start of the work week... high pressure will begin to weaken... and an increasing northwest flow should allow for a sooner return of the afternoon sea breeze each day. Cooler conditions should be expected to occur on Monday at the coastal sections... and slightly cooler high temperatures across the interior. More pronounced cooling will occur on Tuesday as strong onshore surface gradients develop... pushing the marine intrusion into valley and possibly foothill locations. People planning outdoor activities through the weekend should take into consideration the very high temperatures and adjust activities accordingly. Wear loose fitting light weight clothing and drink plenty of water. Take advantage of shade and air conditioning if available. Never... ever leave children... the elderly or pets in enclosed automobiles... even for the shortest time. Temperatures quickly rise to life-threatening levels... even if the windows are partially opened. Back to top
