    Southern California Weather 3/9 Morning - 50° Above Normal
    Mar 9 2026
    Good morning. Southern California. I'm Michael Mosby. Yesterday felt like summer crashed the party early. Today? The coast just hit the reset button. A coastal eddy spinning offshore flipped our winds and dragged cooler air back into the region. Think of it as nature's air conditioner kicking on. Down in Los Angeles, you're topping out at 73 degrees — a solid 50 degrees drop from Sunday's heat. South winds pick up to 10 miles an hour with gusts near 20. Tonight dips to 54 under partly cloudy skies. San Diego County wakes up mostly cloudy with a slight chance of showers near the southern border. That low pressure system spinning off Baja could sneak a sprinkle or two into the county this afternoon, but most of us stay dry. Highs reach 68 degrees with breezy south winds. Tonight falls to 53 under partly cloudy skies. Push inland to the Inland Empire and you're warming slightly to 75 degrees under sunny skies. Southwest winds gust to 25 miles an hour this afternoon. Tonight drops to 50 with partly cloudy conditions and continued breezy westerlies. For the week. Tuesday brings the coolest day of the next seven — marine layer clouds spread across the coast and valleys. Highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. Then Wednesday flips the script. High pressure builds over the Great Basin and offshore flow returns. Temperatures jump into the upper 70s to mid 80s. Thursday cranks the heat even higher — mid to upper 80s at the beaches, upper 80s to mid 90s inland. That's 50 degrees above normal, folks. Friday stays hot before a brief weekend cooldown. Perfect day for a walk if you head out before the winds pick up this afternoon. See you this afternoon.

    Southern California Weather 3/8 Midday - 50° Above Normal
    Mar 8 2026
    Good afternoon. Southern California. I'm Matt Mullins. Step outside and those Santa Ana winds are still punching through. Northeast gusts are hitting 30 miles an hour across Los Angeles, the Inland Empire. And down the San Diego coast. The Wind Advisory runs until 5 P.M. This afternoon for the mountains and inland valleys. But the real story today? The heat. Los Angeles climbs to 90 degrees this afternoon — that's 50 degrees above normal for early March. San Diego hits 86. The Inland Empire tops out at 85. A Heat Advisory is active until 6 P.M. For LA County's coastal zones and valleys. If you're outside today, stay hydrated and seek shade during peak afternoon hours. Tonight brings a dramatic flip. Winds calm after sunset. And a weak low pressure system off Baja California pushes clouds northward. San Diego County has a slight chance of light rain showers late tonight into Monday morning — most areas might see a few hundredths of an inch at best. Monday's cooler. That quick shift from offshore to onshore flow drops LA to 72 degrees. San Diego reaches 69. The Inland Empire settles at 76. Some morning marine layer clouds are possible along the coast. Tuesday stays mild with more clouds and a stronger sea breeze. Highs near 70 across LA and San Diego, 73 in the Inland Empire. Then the heat returns. High pressure builds Wednesday and anchors over us through the weekend. By Thursday and Friday. Here comes upper 80s to near 90 across the board. The Inland Empire could push 96 on Thursday — well above normal for mid-March. Dry conditions continue through at least next weekend. No rain in sight. If you're enjoying these daily updates, a quick rating goes a long way. See you this evening.

    Mar 8 2026
    Good morning. Southern California. I'm Michael Nally. If you're up early, you already feel it. Santa Ana winds are screaming through the mountains right now, gusting to 30 miles an hour. The Inland Empire and mountain passes take the brunt through early afternoon. These winds are doing what they do best: shoving hot, dry desert air straight to the coast. And that brings us to the heat. Los Angeles hits 90 degrees this afternoon. That's 50 degrees above normal for early March. San Diego reaches 86. The Inland Empire matches at 86. We're under a Heat Advisory until 6 P.M. Tonight for the LA basin and valleys. If you're running the marathon today, this matters. Drink water early and often. Take shade breaks. Your body will thank you. Tonight the winds shift and everything cools down. Lows drop to the mid 50s along the coast, around 50 inland. San Diego might catch a few light sprinkles late tonight into Monday morning, but we're talking minimal amounts. Monday flips the script hard. Onshore flow returns and temperatures crash 50 degrees across LA County. You'll hit low 70s. San Diego cools to 69. The Inland Empire reaches 75. Some morning clouds are possible at the coast. Tuesday stays cool — upper 60s to low 70s. The coolest day of the week. Then the heat roars back. Wednesday through Friday brings another warm stretch. Highs climb to upper 80s and low 90s inland, mid 70s at the coast. That's 50 degrees above normal again. Saturday cools slightly but stays warm. Enjoy the heat today if that's your thing. Tomorrow's swing will be dramatic. See you this afternoon.

  • Southern California Weather 3/7 Evening - Sudden Summer Shock

    Southern California Weather 3/7 Evening - Sudden Summer Shock
    Mar 8 2026
    Good evening. Southern California. I'm Michael Nally. Step outside and you might think summer came early. We're sitting at a balmy 75 degrees under clear skies — about 51 degrees warmer than usual for March. But don't let the sunshine fool you. The real story is the wind. Gusts have already hit 50 to 70 miles an hour in the mountains and foothills, with the LA Basin seeing bursts up to 55 miles an hour in spots. That's strong enough to knock down tree limbs and send your patio furniture airborne. A High Wind Warning remains in effect for the Mojave Desert and Tehachapi Mountains until this evening. Closer to home, a Wind Advisory covers most of LA and Ventura Counties until 3 PM. Tomorrow is a scorcher. We're flirting with record highs as the thermometer climbs to 90 degrees. A Heat Advisory kicks in at 10 AM Sunday for coastal LA, the San Fernando Valley. And the San Gabriel Valley. If you're running the LA Marathon, hydrate like it's your job — by the finish line, it will feel like an oven. Tonight, winds stay gusty out of the north at 10 to 20 miles an hour, but they ease slightly by morning. Down south in San Diego, you're dodging the worst of the wind but not the warmth. Highs hit 86 tomorrow — a whopping 51 degrees above normal. You might see a sprinkle Sunday night into Monday, but we're talking less than a tenth of an inch. The Inland Empire is the bullseye for wind today with gusts to 45 miles an hour. They hit 86 tomorrow before crashing back to the 70s on Monday as the marine layer makes a comeback. Humidity drops into the single digits today, so avoid anything that could spark. Secure the trash cans and charge your phone in case the power flickers. Looking ahead. Sunday brings the peak heat and wind. Monday and Tuesday cool back to the 70s with patchy fog, but by Thursday the ridge rebuilds and we're right back in the 90s. Enjoy the taste of summer while it lasts — the marine layer returns Monday to remind us it's still March. See you tomorrow.

    Southern California Weather March 5 Morning - 47° Above Normal
    Mar 5 2026
    Good morning. Southern California. I'm Aaron Jolly. The wind woke up angry today. A High Wind Warning stays in effect until 9 A.M. For the Malibu Coast and Santa Monica Mountains — gusts could slam 60 miles an hour. That's tree-snapping, power-line-dropping wind. If you're in those areas, keep your eyes up. In the next 24 hours. Right now? Fifty-four degrees under clear skies. That north wind is barreling down the state, compressing as it drops, warming us up like a giant hair dryer. Greater Los Angeles climbs to 75 degrees this afternoon under brilliant sunshine. North winds hold at 10 to 15 miles an hour, gusting higher around midday. Tonight brings clear skies and a low near 50. Head south to San Diego County. Patchy fog and drizzle linger until about 8 A.M., then it's off to the races — mostly sunny with a high near 70. The coast stays a touch cooler than LA today. Now the Inland Empire. Areas of fog early, then sunshine and 73 degrees. But hold onto your hat — gusts could hit 35 miles an hour, especially near the mountain passes. Tonight, step outside and catch the full moon rising. With clear skies statewide, it'll be a beauty. Friday looks nearly identical — sunny and mild. Then the weekend brings a classic Santa Ana setup. Saturday warms into the upper 70s. By Sunday? Widespread 80s across the region. Some inland spots could flirt with 85 degrees — about 47 degrees to 47 degrees above normal for early March. A slight chance of showers enters the picture Sunday night into Monday for San Diego County as a low pressure system drifts by. Nothing major, but worth watching. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight now. And the spring equinox sits just two weeks away. Today certainly feels like spring is knocking on the door. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
