"Tuesday is expected to be the hottest day of the week, with warmer valley areas in L.A. County expected to reach the triple digits and temperatures in inland coastal areas ranging from the 80s to lower 90s, according to the National Weather Service. The hot weather will continue on Wednesday and coincide with a risk of thunderstorms that will persist through midday Friday."
""Unfortunately, there's a lot of uncertainty with the thunderstorms," said meteorologist Kristan Lund. "We have a lot of different things at play - we have a ridge of high pressure building to our east, a low pressure system dropping out of the northwest, and we have Tropical Storm Mario coming up from the south.""
"From Tuesday night through midday Friday, there is a 15% to 25% chance of thunderstorms and a 60% to 90% chance of showers anywhere in L.A. County, according to the weather service. The window when the danger of thunderstorms and lightning is expected to be greatest is Wednesday morning through Thursday morning."
Triple-digit temperatures are predicted in inland areas of Los Angeles County midweek, with inland coastal areas reaching the 80s to lower 90s. Tuesday is expected to be the hottest day, and hot weather will continue into Wednesday. Thunderstorms are possible from Tuesday night through midday Friday, with the greatest lightning and thunder risk Wednesday morning through Thursday morning. Storms could produce dry-lightning fire starts in areas with hot temperatures and dry vegetation, as well as brief heavy downpours and isolated strong winds. Forecast uncertainty stems from interacting pressure systems and Tropical Storm Mario moving northward.
