The heat is on repeat as we wrap up the last full week of July with temperatures once again soaring to the triple digit teens in the deserts. An Excessive Heat Warning and Heat Advisory remain in place through Friday at 7P but could be extended as warm temperatures continue through Saturday.
We were hot yesterday with inland communities including Escondido, Ramona, and Santee topping out over 100. Today will is slightly cooler, as temperatures will plummet about 10 degrees by Wednesday. The inland communities will notice the biggest drop in daytime highs.
As high pressure moves east, the door opens for monsoonal moisture to enter the picture. We could see light scattered showers as early as Saturday with the greatest chances Sunday and Monday. Most of the showers will be confined to the mountains and foothills, but some of the instability could spill over to the inland and desert communities. Thunderstorm activity could be associated with heavy downpours, and gusty winds. Dry lighting could spread rapidly due to dry vegetation.
Drier conditions are expected Tuesday and we'll remain cooler, at or below our 30-year-normal.
Fridayday's Highs:
Coast: 73-85
Inland: 86-97
Mountains: 90-99
Deserts: 107-114
