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.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
