A brief ridge of high pressure has moved over the region this morning and will provide a good jump in temperatures across the area, especially in coastal areas where the marine layer has finally completely bee wiped out. Highs will reach into the 70s and 80s for coastal areas and valleys, then become hot in the Inland Valleys with highs in the upper 80s and 90s, a few hot spots may flirt with 100. The mountains will reach into the 70s and 80s, and the deserts will cook between 103-107. Lows tonight in the 50s west of the mountains, and upper 30s and 40s in the mountains. High pressure backs off tomorrow and onshore flow increase out ahead of a trough of low pressure moving down the west coast. The marine layer will quickly return to coastal areas and temperatures will fall as much as 10 degrees with upper 60s and 70s for coastal areas, and lower 80s and 90s for inland valleys. Further cooling Friday as the trough moves through. The marine layer will deepen to near 4000 feet Friday morning and may produce some drizzle in spots west of the mountains. Highs will plummet to about 5-10 degrees below normal in all areas with 60s and 70s overall west of the mountains, and upper 50s and 60s in the mountains. Winds will be gusty in all desert and mountain areas with gust in the 35-50mph range possible. A ridge of high pressure will quickly build back in behind the departing trough of low pressure for the weekend with warming each day. By Sunday we will be back to above normal levels inland with middle 80s and 90s there, the coast will still have a stubborn marine layer due to strong inversion so unfortunately sun may be limited at the beaches and temperatures may remain cool there in the 60s and 70s. The mountains will warm back into the 70s and 80s and deserts into the 100s. Overall nothing really to talk about next week, we may see another trough of low pressure may cool us down slightly mid week but overall very seasonal weather for May. Monsoon season typically begins in June, and chasing expeditions will be planned throughout the summer for those who are interested, shoot me an email at webmaster@socalweather.net.
