SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The heat has peaked for inland communities, but you can expect a slow crawl to cooling as we head into the weekend.
A nice inversion layer has allowed coastal areas to cool down a bit, and some neighborhoods saw up to a 10-degree drop off in daytime highs thanks to the increase of westerly flow.
You can bank on a warm weekend for the inland communities, with daytime highs hovering in the 90s. The Heat Advisory for the inland valleys was extended for another day, now expiring Saturday at 7 P.M. Fire danger will remain elevated through the weekend. Those working outside should take frequent breaks in the shade and drink plenty of water. Always check the backseat of cars and never leave pets or children in vehicles; check on older adults and those without adequate cooling systems.
High pressure will continue to weaken, allowing for cooling, most noticeable on Monday. Take advantage because I expect another ridging pattern to return next weekend, bumping temperatures above seasonal once again.
Saturday's Highs:
Coast: 78-82
Inland: 89-97
Mountains: 85-93
Deserts: 100-103
