"The greatest warming will be in the inland valleys and along the coast." forecasters said. "The inland valleys will be well into the upper 90s, with some spots reaching over 100 degrees Tuesday through Thursday. Coastal areas will also be feeling some heat too, with mid to upper 80s likely, perhaps some inland coastal areas reaching into the 90s."
Winds, combined with low humidity, will elevate the fire weather threat through much of the week, with critical fire weather conditions expected for Monday, the weather service said. A fire weather watch remains in effect for Monday for San Diego mountains, as well as the foothills.
"We may see a very slight reprieve from the heat sometime late next week or next weekend, but temperatures still look to remain warm and above normal through at least next weekend," forecasters said.
