The heat wave is continuing to scorch much of the Central and South Coasts, and it’s now looking like we could be impacted longer than originally expected.
The high pressure behind the hot weather is expected to stick around through mid-week. It means more temperatures between 85 and 95 on the coast, and to around 110 in the valleys.
The Extreme Heat Warning looks like it will remain in place through Friday for most of Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo Counties.
But, there’s a twist in the forecast for the weekend. There’s a possibility of rain, especially south of Point Conception. Tropical Cyclone Kay, which is south of Baja California, could become a hurricane, and send some subtropical moisture our direction. Thunderstorms are expected in South Coast mountains but it could turn into more general rainfall.
