FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE... SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES... .SHORT TERM (Today through Thursday)... High pressure aloft over California will continue the strong inland warming trend into Thursday with Thursday high temperatures generally 8 to 12 degrees above average for the mountains and deserts, exceeding 105 in portions of the Apple and Lucerne Valleys and 110 in the lower deserts. While inland areas will have their hottest weather so far this year, it is mostly not expected to be recording setting with greater chances for warm overnight temperatures to break or tie records than for daytime high temperatures to tie or exceed existing records. The marine layer will become gradually shallower into Thursday and Friday. Night and morning low clouds extending well into the inland valleys overnight may only reach the western valleys for Thursday and Friday. The marine layer will also moderate the warming toward the coast with high temperatures near the coast only a few degrees above average for Thursday and Friday, mostly in the upper 60s.
