Your SoCal weather report for Tuesday, July 23: Warmer temperatures for inland areas

Here's your Tuesday forecast — around 5 degrees warmer for inland areas with minor chances of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

Monsoonal moisture continues to bring a low but current threat to our sunny skies, which means there's a 20% to 30% chance over deserts and mountains of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

Meanwhile, coastal areas will continue to see dense fog through 9 a.m. with afternoon highs in the 70s for the beaches to upper 80s into downtown Los Angeles.

Heat advisories for the Santa Clarita and San Fernando valleys, the Santa Monica Mountains and the Inland Empire valleys and mountains end at 10 p.m. Thursday.

Highs today will range between 95 to 105 degrees — expect a high of 108 degrees for the high desert and up to 114 degrees for Coachella Valley.

Forecasters say the heatwave will peak Wednesday and Thursday.

Overnight lows will be a bit warmer in the interior areas with highs in the low 70s and 80s for the deserts. Read why that's a health risk.

This day in history

Things to do

If you don't already appreciate our Frozen queen Idina Menzel, then perhaps this short essay from my colleague Laura Hertzfield will persuade you to view her otherwise:

• Idina Menzel: 'Take Me or Leave Me' : I’ve been an Idina Menzel fan since I first saw her in the Jonathan Larson musical Rent in 1996. (To be fair, fan is probably an understatement, I even hosted a podcast during the pandemic called This Year’s RENT .) But my personal RENThead history aside, Menzel remains one of the most recognizable voices on Broadway and beyond – from "Let It Go" to her starring role on Glee to her new musical Redwood which opened just down the 5 Freeway at the La Jolla Playhouse and heads to Broadway this fall. Her latest release, Drama Queen is her first album of original songs since 2016. Catch her performing Broadway classics and songs off the new album at the Wiltern.
