AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BUILD ACROSS CALIFORNIA SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS COMBINED WITH OFFSHORE FLOW NEAR THE SURFACE WILL BRING HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS TO MUCH OF SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA. LIGHT OFFSHORE BREEZES WILL FIRST IMPACT PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA ON SUNDAY...WHEN TEMPERATURES WILL SOAR TO BETWEEN 100 AND 105 DEGREES ACROSS MANY VALLEY LOCATIONS. EVEN INLAND PORTIONS OF THE COASTAL PLAIN WILL CLIMB WELL INTO THE 90S ON SUNDAY.
ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY...THE OFFSHORE FLOW STRENGTHENS SLIGHTLY...WITH OFFSHORE BREEZES BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY APPROACH OR EXCEED RECORD LEVELS ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY...WHEN VALLEY AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE BETWEEN 100 AND 107 DEGREES. MOST COASTAL AREAS WILL CLIMB WELL INTO THE 90S WITH INLAND PORTIONS OF THE COASTAL PLAIN...INCLUDING DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES...EXPECTED TO EXCEED 100 DEGREES.

THE MOST CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES AND SANTA CLARITA VALLEY...WHERE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THESE AREAS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR OFFSHORE WINDS GUSTING TO BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH.
