In downtown L.A., highs will be in the low 80s. In the valleys and inland areas including Riverside and San Bernardino, temperatures will be a few degrees cooler with highs in the mid 80s, and in the upper 80s for the Inland Empire. In Orange County, the highs will stay in the upper 70s.
The deserts will still be pretty warm today, with a high of 103 in the Coachella Valley.
The National Weather Service forecasts a slow warming trend for the weekend in the inland areas and deserts.
About those advisories
Orange County coastal areas are under a beach hazards statement from this morning through Friday morning. That means strong rip currents and high surf up to 3-5 feet, with sets up to 6 feet. The highest surf will be in northern Orange County.
This day in history
On this day in 1997, a large swell from Hurricane Linda created 18-foot waves at the Wedge in Newport Beach.
