From 90 degrees to cold and rainy, a wild week of weather is coming
Ocean temperatures will still be quite chilly, in the mid to upper 50s, for those looking to escape the heat.

Topline:
Temperatures are going to continue to climb throughout the week, peaking in the upper 80s to low 90s on Wednesday and Thursday. That's 15 to 20 degrees above normal for this time of year.
Santa Anas are back: Expect winds in the 30 to 40 mph range.
A break from the heat: Temperatures should drop into the 60s by Sunday, accompanied by a light sprinkling of rain.
Fire weather: The heat and wind will dry out some grasses to the point where they could catch fire. However, larger vegetation is still wet enough that large wildfires aren't likely.
Where's the rain? While next week should bring some light precipitation, we're still about 45% behind average in terms of rainfall since Oct. 1. We've got about one month left in our rainy season to make up the deficit.
