Summary: There is enough of an on shore flow to allow a shallow intrusion of modified marine air into the valley. It’s maintaining below average temperatures today and possibly Wednesday. We will begin to transition into a new and very hot weather pattern Thursday which may see hottest locations on the valley floor top 110 Saturday through Monday. high resolution model information indicates valley locations will range between 106 and 112 Saturday and Sunday with very hot weather continuing through the fourth of July. The weak trough of low pressure that has resulted in reasonably pleasant weather recently is slowly moving eastward. Strong upper level high pressure off shore will build inland Thursday and Friday with most models placing the center of this high in fairly close proximity this weekend. Readings will slowly start to decline on the Fourth of July itself. Even so, temperatures will remain well above the century mark. A weak low will move into northern California next Wednesday and Thursday, hopefully deepening the marine layer enough to allow at least some modified marine air into the valley. Some models are suggesting a stronger trough will move through about a week from Saturday. This would theoretically lower temperatures back to near seasonal values.
Forecast: Mostly clear through Thursday. Mostly clear and hot Friday through Tuesday.

Two Week Outlook: July 1 through July 4 This model indicates a blanket of overall high pressure will dominate the pattern through the 4th of July weekend, resulting in above average temperatures and the typically dry conditions.
June: Of course, this time of year, 30 and 90 day outlooks are virtually useless as they’re essentially the same every year. Basically, light all day and hot and dark all night and warm. Essentially for June, near average temperatures and dry.
June, July, August: The 90 day summary outlook is the same this year as it is every year. Generally dry with somewhat above average temperatures. The monsoon season hasn’t begun yet, so we’ll start taking that more seriously down the road.
Wind Discussion: Winds during the afternoon through the late evening hours will be out of the northwest at 8 to 15 mph. locally stronger gusts are possible from the late morning through the late evening hours through Friday.
Rain Discussion: Expect dry conditions for at least the next week.
