Weather in Southern California over Fourth of July weekend expected to be pleasant
The Fourth of July weekend is expected to be warm and pleasant in Southern California.
Over the past few days, the region has been dealing with a low-pressure system that has brought a deep marine layer and cooler temperatures. As that system moves to the east, a warming trend will gradually develop.
The National Weather Service says high temperatures will increase to near normal over the weekend. Although there won't be a significant warm-up, Inland communities will likely experience the most change, with maximum temperatures reaching the mid-80s to 90 in some areas.
Maximum temperatures on the Fourth of July:
- Pasadena: 81
- Burbank: 82
- Santa Clarita: 88
- Woodland Hills: 88
- Palmdale: 93
- Thousand Oaks: 79
Weather officials recommend people stay hydrated and, in the shade when doing outdoor activities. They also urge people to watch for signs of heat exhaustion.
The NWS also warns about fireworks safety, especially with the warm conditions. Weather officials say vegetation during this time is dry and can easily spark a fire. They urge people to avoid using sparklers, candles and fireworks near vegetation or other plants.
