Abnormally High Temperatures To Warm LA County

LOS ANGELES, CA — Temperatures on Tuesday are expected to be 10 to 15 degrees warmer than normal this time of year, according to National Weather Service forecasters.

Due to a series of offshore winds, forecasters said Los Angeles County and much of Southern California will experience an unusual warming trend starting Monday and going into Tuesday. In some areas, temperatures are expected to reach the low 80s, NWS said.

"When you don't have winds calming overnight the temperatures tend to look a little warmer," NWS forecaster Lisa Phillips told Patch.

Most valleys and coastal locations will have temperatures in the 70s throughout the week. Cooler temperatures are expected to return around Thursday or Friday, Phillips said, with the possibility of another warming trend to follow during the weekend.

According to the seven-day forecast by the National Weather Service, temperatures on Tuesday will reach a high of 82 degrees in Northridge; 80 degrees in Downtown Los Angeles; and 81 degrees in Beverly Hills.

Coastal areas will see slightly lower temperatures with Manhattan Beach and Malibu reaching a high of 76 degrees, Santa Monica hitting 77 degrees and Long Beach seeing a high of 75 degrees according to the weather service's forecast.

"Max temps will be the most talked about weather phenomena for the next two days," the NWS said.
