Enjoyed a gorgeous weekend out there with slightly below normal temperatures and gusty west winds at times. A trough of low pressure will continue its progression eastward through the Intermountain West, with Southern California at the base of this trough. This will maintain below normal temperatures for a couple more days, before higher pressure slowly expands westward through the end of the week. Looking at clear skies this evening with west winds gusting 10-20 mph early on, decreasing after sunset as lows overnight dip into the 30s. Expect mostly sunny skies on Monday with a high around 70 degrees, west winds continuing 10-15 mph during the afternoon. Temperatures will gradually increase throughout the week under building high pressure as highs reach the mid to upper 70s by Friday, with overnight lows coming back up into the 40s. Afternoons will remain breezy, but less windy than the past few days as the onshore flow also weakens. We're looking at a perfect summer forecast for the big Independence holiday weekend as highs locally top out around 80 degrees with dry weather. Longer range continues to advertise monsoon moisture creeping back into the Desert Southwest the week of the 6th. What that means for us remains to be seen. Stay tuned!
