A ridge of high pressure continues to build across the Central Coast bringing above seasonal norm temperatures this weekend.
Friday and Saturday are expected to have the warmest temps of the week as the onshore flow weakens.
Daytime highs for interior valleys looking to be in the triple digits (100-105). Coastal valleys are looking at mid to upper 80’s and beaches low to mid-70’s.
Overnight lows dropping to low 60’s could provide some relief from the heat.
Still excessive heat is something to watch and heat advisories are still possible.
