| As high pressure strengthens across the region, temperatures will increase with near-record high temperatures possible this weekend in many areas, mainly inland and the lower deserts where it will feel more like mid-summer. Expect clear skies this evening with light winds as lows cool to the 30's and lower 40's. Temperatures will make it in the 70s on Friday, even nearing 80° on Saturday, but we'll likely fall just short. Overnight temperatures will also remain mild with lows in the 30s to the 40s. A weak offshore flow will generate easterly winds 5-15 mph at times, turning southwesterly during the afternoons over the weekend. High pressure will buckle next week in response to an approaching trough. This will lead to cooler weather and gusty west winds during the afternoons, but no precipitation is expected at this time.
