Surprise, surprise, hot conditions are here in the deserts / Thermal tied a daily record with a high temperature of 100 F (old record 100 F 2017) / #CAwx
Locally dense fog will be likely again tonight and early Tuesday morning, mainly over higher coastal terrain (including the San Diego County mesas). Local visibility will be below 1/4 mile.
Each afternoon will be warm and sunny this week, but look for a cooldown by the end of the week, with max temperatures dropping nearly 10 degrees by Friday. #CAwx
Thank heavens, I still have PTSD from the heat last summer.
Thanks for the update
Areas of fog will continue this morning near the coast and along the mesas, and will reform this evening. Here's the latest hi-res forecast of visibility. #CAwx

Here is a good example of standing wave clouds developing across the Tehachapi Mountains this morning. The SW to NE alignment of these cloud waves tell you that gusty NW winds are developing behind an exiting front. There is enough moisture with in a horizontal layer near the ridgetop that allows clouds to develop, then quickly dissipate out on either side of the cloud due to the wave action of the air moving over the mountains.
Good afternoon from the Day/Swing Shifts.
Well, the area is still on track for a quick shot of precipitation tonight and Thursday as a weak system moves across the area. At this time, the best chances for measurable precipitation look to be across the Central Coast. Rainfall totals are generally expected to range around 0.10 inches or less with locally higher amounts (up to 0.25") possible across the Central Coast. Snow levels will drop to around 4000 feet, so there could be some light snow accumulations in the local mountains.
As the system moves through, gusty northwesterly winds will develop across the area on Thursday. Wind gusts between 35 and 55 MPH will be possible across the mountains and northerly wind-prone areas.
For Friday through the weekend, high pressure is forecast to build over the West Coast. So, warmer and drier conditions can be expected for the area.
Windy conditions will affect portions of SW California tonight into Tuesday morning. Blowing dust will affect some areas - mostly in the Antelope Valley, but other areas may be affected as well. It will feel chilly due to the gusty winds and colder temperatures following today's frontal passage.
Strong west to northwest winds over the nearshore Coastal Waters will continue through late tonight. Steep, rough seas are expected with dangerous ocean conditions.
Gale Watch in effect for the nearshore waters south of Point Conception Monday afternoon through late Monday evening. Winds northwest 20 to 30 knots with gusts to 35 knots and steep rough seas building to 7 to 9 feet. Not a good day to be on the ocean, especially in a small boat.
