Hot weather over the next week will also come with fire risk and dangerous ocean conditions.
Temperatures will drop to the mid to upper 60s for the coast and mid to low 70s more inland. We're going to see mostly cloudy skies and even some patchy fog this morning, but come this afternoon those clouds should burn off in the inland areas for a mostly sunny afternoon.
That means for L.A. County valleys, high temperatures will range from 65 to 74 degrees. For the inland coast, expect high temperatures in the range of 68 to 73 degrees. Along L.A. County beaches, temperatures will range from 64 to 68 degrees.
Orange County coastal areas will see temperatures from 63 to 69 degrees, while the inland areas will be slightly warmer, with highs up to 72 degrees.
A heads up if you're going to the beach — forecasters say there is a risk of high rip currents today, with waves from 3 to 6 feet possible.
