Temperatures will continue to cool down for the coast and valleys while excessive heat blankets the deserts.
The marine layer will return each morning, gradually deepening towards the valleys through the end of the week, leading to mild and overcast mornings.
Expect subtle changes over the next few days, with daytime highs near average from the coast to the mountains and above average in the deserts. The Excessive Heat Warning remains in place for the deserts through 8 P.M. Thursday but could get extended as that region struggles to cool off. Daytime highs will continue to hover between 110 and 115.
The warming pattern due to the ridge of high pressure will weaken, allowing cooler and drier air to filter in.
Another ridge of high pressure will rebuild this weekend, bringing excessive heat back into the picture for the inland valleys. We'll also have a warm-up near the coast, with highs soaring in the mid to upper 70s by Sunday.
Wednesday's Highs:
Coast: 72-80
Valleys: 79-90
Mountains: 86-96
Deserts: 109-113
