So far, we have not really experienced any widespread thunderstorms around the area; activity has been pretty hit and miss, which isn't all that uncommon for the early weeks of monsoon season. As deeper moisture begins to migrate further west, we'll have a better chance in the coming weeks, as August is typically our more active monsoon month across Southern California. Add to that an active Eastern Pacific hurricane season, and models trend on the wetter side for our region for the remainder of our summer season. We'll also have some heat to contend with over the next week as high pressure strengthens across the region, with near-record heat likely through the weekend. Looking at mostly sunny skies today with a few afternoon clouds. Temperatures will reach the lower 80s today with light southwest winds to 10 mph. Partly cloudy and mild tonight with lows in the 50s. Partly cloudy and warmer tomorrow with highs in the mid-80s. Daytime highs will top out in the upper 80s Friday through the weekend with an isolated shower or thunderstorm possible Friday or Saturday. At this time, expect above-normal temperatures into next week with a chance for afternoon thundershowers possible later in the week.
