Summer in February will go on, so your friends back east can remain jealous.Our winter heat continues, with temperatures expected to climb into the mid-80s for part of L.A. and Orange Counties, the Inland Empire and the valleys throughout the week. It's also going to be windy, with winds up to 45 mph expected in some mountainous areas, CBS Los Angeles reports.
Oceanside, it's expected to be sunny and warm, but the National Weather Service warns of rip currents and possible beach erosion on Wednesday and Thursday. There is a beach hazard in effect through Thursday night, according to City News Service.

Temperatures should cool off come the weekend.
