Beaches in the 60s to about 70 over the weekend while coastal valleys warm from the low to mid 70s into the upper 70s Sunday. Monday looks like a copy of Sunday but Tuesday through Thursday onshore flow comes back and temps dip once again.

Some relief for inland heat but still above normal

Posted 12:47 PM 5/13/2013 by Dave Hovde

Some cooling will take place on Tuesday away from the beaches as a weak upper level trough drifts over the area.
