Fair and seasonal weather will continue into early next week, according to the National Weather Service.
High temperatures Thursday are expected to reach 76 to 81 near the coast, 84 to 88 inland, 86 to 91 in the western valleys, 92 to 97 near the foothills, 88 to 97 in the mountains and around 110 in the deserts.
A coastal eddy will develop Thursday and seems to strengthen Friday and Saturday, which should bring more coastal clouds extending a little farther inland into western valleys early Friday and Saturday.
Minor variations in temperatures are expected through the weekend, according to meteorologists. A slight warming trend is detected Thursday followed by a tiny cooling trend into Saturday.
Next week the ridge to our east will strengthen and expand westward into SoCal. That will bring warmer weather, peaking around Tuesday and Wednesday with temperatures several degrees above normal, especially inland.
High temperatures are expected to climb well above 100 in the deserts, forecasters said.
