A high pressure is building across Southern California, bringing summer like heat to the valley today.
The National Weather Service says communities in western San Fernando Valley could reach record levels in the mid 90s. Elsewhere in the valley, you could see temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s, which is between 10 and 15 degrees above normal for the area.
Coastal areas will also be warmer, with a chance of patchy of dense fog in the morning along our beaches, which will burn off throughout the day.

It'll be mostly sunny for downtown Los Angeles, with highs in the low 80s.
Thursday is when the high pressure will peak for most areas before temperatures start to tick back down. An onshore flow is also on its way for the weekend, bringing back cooler temperatures into next week.
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.

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.
