Friday will finally mark the start of a cooling trend in Southern California, coming days after brutally hot temperatures<\/a> and abnormally high humidity<\/a> broke several local records<\/a> and caused health and safety concerns<\/a> across the region, in particular at schools<\/a> and homes without air conditioning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe relief is coming,\u201d National Weather Service Meteorologist Bryan Lewis said Friday morning. \u201cIn general, things are going to start to feel a lot better.\u201d<\/p>\n

The last remaining heat advisories from the weather service are set to expire Friday evening for most of Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties, as well as the Inland Empire. <\/p>\n

Heat and humidity on Friday are expected to fall from peaks on Thursday, with highs across the region dropping 4 to 8 degrees, forecasts show. That trend will continue through the weekend, with Sunday highs likely a few degrees below normal for this time of year. <\/p>\n

\u201cBy Saturday, generally we\u2019ll see temperatures on the coast right around upper 70s, and then further inland, right around the mid 80s, even lower 80s,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cAnd then even cooler Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lewis called it \u201ca pretty big swing\u201d from temperatures this week. <\/p>\n

Highs along L.A. County\u2019s coast soared into the 90s on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week, while inland valleys recorded highs hitting the triple digits. Nighttime offered little relief in most areas, and scientists believe the humidity may have been the highest ever experienced in the Southland.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sticky tropical air will finally exit the region by this weekend,\u201d the weather service wrote in its Friday forecast. \u201cMarine layer clouds will likely return to many coastal areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the milder temperatures may stick around. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt honestly seems like it will stay cooler than normal for pretty much the entire area this weekend, and for the first part of next week,\u201d Lewis said. <\/p>\n

\u201cPretty nice compared to what we did see the last few days,\u201d he added. \u201cThat was pretty brutal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Friday will finally mark the start of a cooling trend in Southern California, coming days after brutally hot…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":460734,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8,9350,2491,2424,1028,180897,19891,23730,10263,47375,1009,2429,10387,316,430,2695],"class_list":["post-460733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-coast","tag-degree","tag-friday","tag-high","tag-high-humidity","tag-hot-temperature","tag-lewis","tag-region","tag-relief","tag-southern-california","tag-thursday","tag-trend","tag-wednesday","tag-week","tag-weekend"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460733\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/460734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
