Residents along the coast should stay alert to marine hazards today. A brief cloud cover this morning will clear quickly, allowing temperatures to climb back into the 70s and low 80s as offshore winds pick up. Beach Hazard Statements and Coastal Flood advisories remain active through the evening, so beachgoers and boaters are urged to monitor local alerts.
Mid‑week warming and Santa Ana winds
Wednesday brings further warming as Santa Ana winds develop, pushing temperatures up an additional 8‑10 °F. The winds are expected to be moderate, which may prompt the issuance of wind advisories for exposed areas.
These conditions are set to continue Thursday and Friday, with the warmest temperatures arriving Friday into Saturday. Residents should prepare for continued sunny skies, higher heat indices, and the possibility of wind‑related impacts such as dust and fire‑risk concerns.
What to watch
- Check the latest Beach Hazard Statements before heading to the shoreline.
- Stay informed about Coastal Flood advisories, especially in low‑lying areas.
- Monitor wind advisories if you live in exposed locations or plan outdoor activities.
