The relief we've all been waiting for is here. By Sunday, daytime highs will plummet 5 to 10 degrees and humidity levels will drop. A trough brewing off the Pacific Northwest slowly digs southward filtering in drier air as onshore flow increases. We'll still have remnants of monsoonal moisture in our east which will result in partly cloudy skies for our mountains and deserts, but we'll be in the clear in terms of thunderstorm activity.
The marine layer gradually deepens overnight through Monday leading to cloudy mornings for coastal and inland communities.
Enjoy the cooldown while it's here, temperatures quickly rise next week with 90s returning away from the coast and 110+ in the deserts by Wednesday. Monsoon flow also builds again by midweek with another round of higher humidity, though the threat of showers and thunderstorms looks low.
A Beach Hazard Statement is in effect for our beaches through Sunday afternoon. A south swell moving in will bring in waves of 4 to 7 feet and strong rip currents. It's highly advised you swim near a lifeguard tower, especially if you're an inexperienced swimmer.
Saturday's Highs:
Coast: 74-81°
Inland: 83-93°
Mountains: 83-98°
Deserts: 106-111°
