Another beautiful day...

(Surface Map - 5AM/pdt, Sun. Apr 13th forecast)

High pressure over the interior west will produce a fairly strong offshore flow Friday through Sunday over the southland.

This will result in very warm temperatures... temperatures nearing 90 degrees along inland portions of the coastal plain and in the middle 70s to around 80 at the beaches on Saturday.

Forecast high for mid city LA on Saturday... 88 degrees.

Some favored valley locations (such as the western San Fernando valley and the IE) will reach into the lower to middle 90s Saturday).

Gusty winds below the passes (especially northern portions) will likely develop Saturday morning then diminish during the PM hours on Saturday.

A bit cooler temperatures are in the forecast for Sunday... as the ridge begins to break down and move east.
