SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- A heat wave is expected to move through San Diego County starting Monday. 

The peak of the heat will move in on Tuesday and Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service, nights will be warm as well, especially near the foothills of the mountains and in the deserts.

High pressure will weaken and shift to the north, bringing cooler weather and ushering in the return of the monsoonal moisture toward the end of the week.
