In a dramatic shift for Southern California weather, residents are waking up to a blanket of low clouds and fog, particularly in the valleys and Inland Orange County. As the sun rises, these clouds are expected to retreat toward the coastline, paving the way for a warm afternoon. Forecasters are warning of significant changes ahead, as temperatures in the valleys will drop from last year’s sweltering triple digits to a more manageable range in the low 90s.

But the real story lies in the looming threat of monsoon moisture. Alex Biston’s latest 7 a.m. forecast reveals a chance for storms across mountain communities, adding an urgent layer to the already shifting weather pattern. While today promises a pleasant morning with temperatures in the high 60s to low 70s, the forecast warns that the Central Valley is bracing for extreme heat, with advisories in place as temperatures could soar between 105 and 115 degrees.

Residents are advised to stay alert as the Inland Empire will see a gradual temperature drop, leading to low 90s by the week’s end. The forecast indicates a continued presence of low clouds and fog through the night, with a slight chance of rain as we move into the next few days. As locals head to farmer’s markets and outdoor activities, they should prepare for rapidly changing conditions.

Stay tuned for updates as this weather situation evolves, and ensure you’re ready for both sunshine and potential storms in the coming days. The atmosphere is charged, and Southern California is on the brink of a significant weather transformation.
