With no rain in the coming forecast for Southern California, drought conditions are becoming more dire every day.
"It's going to stay dry for the foreseeable future with no rain over the next 10 days," AccuWeather.com Western Weather Expert Ken Clark said.
With near-record high temperatures and extremely dry conditions in the region, fire dangers are growing in the area, too.
Days ahead will be full of sunshine, not lending any relief to the city.
"At the close of this calendar day we enter a deeper phase of the California drought, largely unseen by many alive today," the National Weather Service's San Francisco office said on Tuesday.
Despite being the rainy season, the region has been exceedingly dry for a prolonged period of time and conditions are only continuing to worsen in Southern California.
Farther south in Los Angeles, last year went down as the driest calendar year on record for the city.

As the state plunges deeper into a drought crisis, economic impacts are beginning to become a topic of concern, according to Clark.
"Southern California needs rain and it needs rain badly," Clark said.
Due to the warm air and dryness in the region, a high wildfire danger is in effect from San Francisco down through Los Angeles and San Diego until Thursday.
