.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...

At 1 PM satellite imagery was showing patches of low clouds 
lingering along the immediate coast, mainly in San Diego County, 
with high clouds over the mountains and deserts. Real-time 
observations were showing temperatures similar to a few degrees 
warmer than this time yesterday in the deserts. Moderate to 
locally major HeatRisk is expected in the deserts this afternoon. 
It is recommended to be extra cautious if planning to be outdoors,
and be sure to stay hydrated to avoid any heat-related illnesses.

A weak upper level low pressure system centered off the central 
California coast will move slowly inland into central and southern 
California on Wednesday, then weaken and move inland into Arizona on 
Thursday. That will help spread cooling inland through Thursday. 
High temperatures will gradually decrease each day, bringing 
temperatures on Thursday down to 4 to 8 degrees below average for 
the mountains and inland valleys. It will also pull mid to upper 
level moisture into Southern California. This will result in areas 
of high clouds over the mountains and deserts through Wednesday. 
Even with the influx in moisture, dry conditions are expected to 
prevail.  

For the 4th of July holiday through early next week, a slow warming 
will occur. By Monday, NBM chances for the low deserts to exceed 110 
degrees begin to increase to around 40 percent. Similar chances for 
Tuesday. By Tuesday, most locations are expected to see high 
temperatures 2 to 5 degrees above average. Marine layer low cloud 
and fog coverage will remain persistent each night and morning for 
the coast and into portions of the valleys with minor variations in 
depth.
