WHY IT’S SO HOT & SOME GOOD REMINDERS FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!
WIND VECTORS ARE ALREADY POINTING OFFSHORE 9/23
GFS WEATHER MODEL ON 9/26, THE SET UP FOR HOT WEATHER
JIM AT THE BEACH ON MONDAY 
National Weather Service Put Out Some GREAT reminders before we get really HOT!
…HOT WEATHER IS EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS WEEKEND
AND EARLY NEXT WEEK…
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE WEST WILL BRING SEVERAL DAYS OF HOT
WEATHER FRIDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS HIGH PRESSURE
WILL DIMINISH THE MARINE LAYER AND ITS COOLING INFLUENCE WHILE WEAK
OFFSHORE FLOW WILL BRING MOSTLY CLEAR AND DRY AIR. NO STRONG WINDS
ARE EXPECTED…BUT THE DRY AIR WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO RISE
EFFICIENTLY EACH DAY. THE HOTTEST DAYS APPEAR TO BE SUNDAY AND
MONDAY.
SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY…
COASTAL AREAS…………….mostly 80′s with a range from 75 TO 90.
INLAND ORANGE COUNTY………90 TO 100.
COASTAL VALLEYS…………..90 TO 100.
INLAND VALLEYS……………102 TO 108.
MOUNTAINS BELOW 6000 FEET….88 TO 98.
MOUNTAINS ABOVE 6000 FEET….80 TO 90.
UPPER DESERTS…………….98 TO 106.
LOWER DESERTS…………….102 TO 110.
WHILE THE AIRMASS WILL BE QUITE HOT…IT WILL ALSO BE QUITE DRY AND
HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN LOW. THEREFORE THE HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL
LIKELY REMAIN BELOW HEAT WARNING CRITERIA FOR OUR AREA.
HOWEVER…VISITORS…TOURISTS…HIKERS…AND ANYONE WORKING OUTDOORS
THIS WEEK SHOULD TAKE THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT HEAT
RELATED STRESS AND ILLNESS.
AVOID STRENUOUS OUTDOOR ACTIVITY IF POSSIBLE. IF YOU HAVE TO BE
OUTSIDE…DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. WEAR LIGHTWEIGHT LOOSE-FITTING
CLOTHING AND WEAR A HAT TO SHIELD YOURSELF FROM THE SUN. NEVER LEAVE
CHILDREN OR PETS IN ENCLOSED VEHICLES…EVEN BRIEFLY.
THE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN SLIGHTLY DURING THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK INDICATING A SLIGHT COOLING TREND.
