Weather officials are advising Southern California residents, especially those who live away from the coast, of a “significant warm up” for the area that will last until at least the end of the workweek.
Per the National Weather Service’s area forecast discussion, many areas across the region will experience high temperatures that are five to ten degrees above normal.
“The warmup is attributed to a rapidly building ridge from the east through today and offshore trends from the north during this period as well,” the area forecast discussion’s most recent update – 3 a.m. on Wednesday – says. “The warming trend will peak [Wednesday] and Thursday.”
While NWS’ outlook stated that heat advisories being issued was unlikely, one is in effect for the Inland Empire, including the cities of Moreno Valley, Ontario, Fontana, Riverside, Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino and Corona. The heat advisory goes into effect at 10 a.m. Wednesday and lasts until 8 p.m. Thursday.
Highs between 95 and 105 degrees are expected in many areas; Palm Springs is expected to hit 117 degrees on Wednesday, with Palmdale and Riverside also having triple-digit highs in the forecast for Wednesday.
