Peak heat Wednesday, tracking a cool & cloudy holiday weekend

Peak heat occurs Wednesday. Expect temperatures to soar above average as high pressure reaches peak strength. Maximum temperatures rise into the 70s, 80s & a smattering of 90s. Practice heat & fire safety! Stay hydrated and be aware of reduced air quality issues. Plan strenuous activities around peak heating hours.

We begin to cool off with more marine clouds in the forecast Thursday. Onshore flow and sea breeze are reestablished and this will bring a needed cooling trend to all areas. We fall 5-8 degrees from Wednesday and humidity will rise drastically.

Marine clouds & a stubborn May gray pattern arrives Friday into our holiday weekend. Expect 60s and low 70s, with some areas failing to see the sunshine.
