About this listen

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Folks, we're living in a toaster oven right now. A massive ridge of high pressure is parked directly over us, compressing the air and heating things up fast. We're talking temperatures twenty degrees above normal. You might even see some records fall today. In the next 24 hours. Here's the thing — don't get too comfortable. A low pressure system is dropping down from the north. It flattens this heat dome by Saturday. Onshore flow returns, bringing that familiar marine air back. That means a quick cool down for the weekend. If you step outside right now. Greater Los Angeles is sitting at 91 degrees under sunny skies. You hit your high of 88 around 3 P.M. Winds shift from southwest to west-northwest around 7 P.M. Tonight, expect mostly clear skies and a low around 61. Down in San Diego County, you're at 86 degrees. Look for a high near 84 this afternoon. Winds shift from northwest to southwest around 10 A.M. Tonight stays mostly clear with a low around 61. Over in the Inland Empire, the thermometer reads 92 degrees. You top out near 91 this afternoon. Winds shift from northwest to west around 6 P.M. Lows drop to about 61 tonight under mostly clear skies. Heads up if you're traveling north — a Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for the Central Valley from 2 A.M. To 10 A.M. Saturday. Watch for sudden visibility changes. Here's your outlook for the week ahead. Saturday brings cooling, with Los Angeles near 86 and San Diego at 81. Sunday gets even cooler, with highs in the upper 70s and low 80s. By Monday, we settle into the 70s across the board. We stay dry through midweek. It looks like classic Southern California spring weather is about three weeks early. The UV index is high today, so slather on sunscreen if you're heading out. Also, sunrise was at 6:25 A.M. We're gaining two minutes of daylight every day now. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.
