Sick of Southern California’s heat wave? Relief is on its way

While Monday’s temperatures are still well into the triple digits in parts of Southern California, a dramatic cooldown is expected to arrive by midweek, according to forecasts.
The heat wave shook the Southland over the weekend, bringing record temperatures that crossed 110 degrees in parts of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
The beginning of the week will not be much different from the weekend, as an Excessive Heat Warning from the National Weather Service was still put in effect until 8 p.m. Monday in most inland communities.
Highs on Monday included 107 degrees in Santa Clarita, 101 in Los Angeles, 99 in Long Beach, 89 in Santa Monica, 106 in Ontario, 109 in Riverside and 112 in Palm Springs.
Fret not, Southern Californians, because an unusually rapid cooldown was set to follow in the coming days.
“The numbers are heading in the right direction, and rather quickly, by the way,” said KTLA meteorologist Henry DiCarlo.
While Tuesday was expected to be hot in most inland areas, the temperatures in the mid 90s will feel like a cool autumn day compared to the weekend and Monday. And if that’s not enough, then the rapid cooldown will continue with temperatures in the mid-to-lower 80s and even 70s in some areas.
“48 hours from now we’re going to be talking about temperatures 20 degrees cooler,” DiCarlo said on Monday morning.
Those lower temperatures are expected to last into next weekend.
