In a dramatic shift from the blistering heat that gripped Southern California, Alex Biston’s 7 a.m. forecast reveals a significant weather transformation as monsoon moisture begins to sweep into the region. Residents waking up in the valleys and Inland Orange County are greeted by a thick blanket of low clouds and fog, but relief is on the horizon as these clouds are set to retreat toward the coastline this afternoon.

Today marks a pivotal moment as temperatures in the valleys are expected to drop from last year’s triple-digit highs to a more manageable range in the 80s. This refreshing change is accompanied by a beautiful morning, perfect for visiting local farmer’s markets, with current temperatures hovering between the high 60s and low 70s. By 1:00 PM, expect a warm embrace of sunshine as the day progresses.

However, the forecast also carries a warning: extreme heat advisories are in effect for the Central Valley, with temperatures soaring between 105 and 115 degrees. The Inland Empire is expected to see a drop to the low 90s, while the coastal areas will enjoy a mix of sun and clouds, maintaining temperatures in the low 70s.

As we move into the week, the potential for storms looms over the mountain communities, with a slight chance of precipitation. This evolving weather pattern brings both relief and caution as Southern Californians adjust to the shifting climate. Stay tuned for updates as conditions develop, and prepare for a week of fluctuating temperatures and possible storms.
