Temperatures will take on a slight warming trend into the weekend, but if you head to the coast, make sure to watch our for king tides, bigger surf and some coastal flooding.

Parts of Southern California, the desert southwest and northern Baja will get a taste of some tropical conditions as a hurricane brews in the Eastern Pacific.

As we close out September, expect big waves, cloudy mornings, and pleasant afternoons to continue through the final days of the month.

It’s a hot start to the fall season but temperatures will take on a brief cooling trend for the end of the work week.

For the weekend, we are drying out and warming up as the moisture plume exits the region.

Mild and pleasant weather is expected over the next few days with another boost of summer-like heat expected by early next week.

Temperatures will be topping out in the low 80s for the beaches, low to mid-90s for the valleys, upper 80s to low 90s in the mountains and close to 108 degrees in the deserts.

A heat dome over the Four Corners region is building and expanding which will crank up afternoon temperatures and allow for an influx of tropical moisture for the rest of this week. 

The heat is officially on as heat alerts for all inland locations kicked in the middle of the week.

Afternoon temperatures are warming up nicely under mostly blue skies in San Diego.
