In the valleys, daytime highs will reach the mid to upper 80s, low 90s for Santa Clarita and western San Fernando Valley. For the Inland Empire, it'll reach into the high 90s, up to 104 degrees in the high desert and up to 110 degrees in Coachella Valley. Expect some gusty winds over the Antelope Valley and adjacent foothills through Highway 14.
An air quality alert is still in effect for the Coachella Valley, but conditions will break Tuesday around 11 p.m.
Looking ahead, monsoonal moisture may bring a few showers and thunderstorms to the mountains and Antelope Valley heading into the weekend. There is a possibility showers could drift west of the mountains. This increased moisture in the atmosphere may also knock a few degrees off estimated maximum temps.
This day in history
On this day in 1999, the found footage horror film The Blair Witch Project was released in the United States. It grossed nearly $250 million worldwide on a small budget of about $60,000.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
