“We’re entering into some of our hottest weather (of the year so far) right now,” meteorologist David Gomberg said.
The ramp-up in temperatures will be the result of a high-pressure system positioned over the Pacific Ocean near the West Coast, Adams said. In addition to this system, another high-pressure system near the Gulf of Mexico is expected to begin driving some of the first monsoonal moisture of the year into Southern California, bringing a potential for rain and thunderstorms beginning Wednesday afternoon, June 22.
Monsoonal weather patterns are typical for this time of the year as the traditional monsoon season has kicked off across much of the desert southwest, the meteorologists said. The eastern San Gabriel Mountains and the San Bernardino County mountains are the usual suspects for monsoon-like weather to develop due to high elevations, Gomberg said. Monsoonal weather also could affect parts of western Riverside County, the NWS said.
But with varying anticipated precipitation totals, the storms this week are not expected to have much a major impact on the drought gripping most of the state and the desert Southwest, Gomberg said. But while Tuesday, June 21, marks the first day of summer, much of coastal Los Angeles and Orange counties is expected to remain cool, Gomberg said. The warmest marks expected along the coast will be in Long Beach, possibly reaching highs in the mid-80s, he said.
