Weakening high pressure and a stronger sea breeze will give way to some decent cooling across the coast today. A little less cooling inland but it won't be nearly as oppressive as yesterday! Just one more day of heat before we get a break! We got this! #CAwx#LAheat#heatwave
RED FLAG WARNINGS in effect for the Santa Barbara Mountains and south coast thru Mon eve. Also for the L.A. and Ventura County Mountains starting Sun evening through Mon eve. Hot, windy, low relative humidites are driving the Red Flag Warning for these areas. #cawx#SBAweather

Here we go, this is where it gets real. The heat really starts to ramp up today where there will be widespread triple digit heat away from the beaches. PLEASE take caution and stay inside with AC if you can! This heat can be DEADLY! #CAwx#LAheat#heatwave
In addition to flash flooding threat, there will be potential for gusty erratic winds, small hail, and dangerous cloud to ground lightning, including potential for isolated dry lightning strikes on periphery of storms that can cause new fire ignitions. #LAWeather#LArain#cawx
There is a possibility of beach lightning over the weekend for #SoCal beaches. Seek shelter if you hear thunder or see lightning - do not wait until it's close! Remember, beach gazebos are not a safe place to shelter! #CAwx#LAweather
Be prepared for a wildfire. Take personal responsibility for protecting yourself, your family and your property.
