Tuesday's forecast brings warmer temperatures for the inland areas, highs in the triple digits for the deserts and continuing low morning clouds for the coast.
Desert communities are already experiencing the heat wave — highs today for the high desert will reach up to 103 degrees, up to 114 degrees for Coachella Valley.
Inland areas will see highs mainly in the 90s, but the Inland Empire will be the warmest parts, with some parts of Riverside and San Bernardino county valleys reaching up to 104 degrees.
It will be cooler along the coast with patchy fog for early morning hours followed by low clouds then gradual clearing this afternoon — expect highs in the mid 70s. The inland coast will see highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.
Tonight's lows will drop to upper 60s, low 80s for the deserts.
Desert communities will see triple-digit highs all week long. In Coachella Valley, local officials are asking residents to conserve energy as much as possible from 4 to 9 p.m. during this heat wave.
Heat advisories have been extended to the inland coast — that's west L.A. including Culver City, Beverly Hills, to downtown L.A. and Norwalk. Come Thursday, those areas will see highs between 85 to 95 degrees.
Expect Wednesday's highs for the valleys to rise to 95 to 110 degrees.
Weather forecasters warn that due to high temperatures and low humidity, fire conditions will be critical this week, so please be responsible when celebrating Fourth of July.
