The National Weather Service’s latest briefing (Saturday, July 18) points to a warmer, drier stretch of weather arriving Tuesday, July 21, and continuing through Friday, July 24, along with continued high surf at area beaches. No Red Flag Warning or other emergency alert is currently in effect — this post is a routine heads-up so residents can plan accordingly.
What to Expect
Heat: Near-normal temperatures continue through Monday. Interior highs climb to 88–100°F Tuesday, peaking Wednesday through Friday around 92–104°F. A Heat Advisory may be issued later in the week if conditions warrant, with the warm-up potentially continuing into next weekend.
Fire Safety: Conditions stay seasonally typical through Monday. From Tuesday through Friday, lower humidity and breezier conditions mean fires that do start could spread more quickly than usual — a good reminder to stay on top of routine fire precautions, not a sign of an active fire danger warning.
Beach Conditions: South-facing beaches will see elevated to high surf from Sunday through at least Tuesday, with waves building to 5–8 feet and strong rip currents, driven by swell from a passing tropical system.
A Few Simple Precautions
- Limit outdoor exertion during peak afternoon heat, especially Wednesday–Friday
- Keep pets and horses cool, shaded, and hydrated
- Maintain defensible space and brush clearance on your property
- Take extra care with anything that could spark a fire
- Use caution swimming at area beaches through midweek
- Keep your family and animal evacuation plan current
