The heat isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Strong high pressure will maintain hot weather with periods of high clouds over the next week. The hot and dry weather, coupled with breezy west-to-southwest winds afternoon and evenings, will keep fire weather conditions elevated inland. Closer to the coast and across the western valleys, a coastal eddy and shallow marine layer will keep it cooler, along with areas of low clouds and fogs.
The Excessive Heat Warning is expected to last in our inland communities until Tuesday at 8 p.m. and in our mountain and desert communities until Wednesday at 11 p.m.
There is a slight chance for thunderstorms in our mountain communities Monday afternoon.
The risk for heat-related illnesses remains high. Limit time outside, wear loose and light-colored clothing and stay hydrated. Exercise early and refrain from walking pets on hot walkways. Ensure you're aware of heat exhaustion or heat stroke symptoms and seek help and shelter immediately if you start feeling ill.
Monday Highs:
Coast: 73-85
Inland: 94-99
Mountains: 93-103
Deserts: 113-117
