Weather forces should combine to keep the heat on for Labor Day weekend, the National Weather Service says, with tropical moisture and high surf in part due to remnants of Hurricane Ileana.
A high surf advisory is in effect until 6 p.m. Monday, with waves reaching as high as nine feet Friday, 12 feet Saturday and 10 feet Sunday, mainly on south-facing Orange County beaches. See Laylan Connelly’s OC Beach Blog for more on the surf.
Orange County should be mostly sunny Friday after a partly cloudy morning with patchy fog and highs of 88 to 93 inland, 75 to 80 on the coast. Low-pressure air on the coast could mean slightly drier air moving in for the short term, the Weather Service says.
But subtropical moisture left over from Hurricane Ileana is expected to move into the region sometime this weekend. That will likely mean high clouds and perhaps thunderstorms over interior mountains and deserts on Sunday and Monday.
High pressure air also should move in for the weekend, keeping temperatures high.
The pattern should be fairly consistent for the three-day weekend with partly cloudy skies after patchy fog in the morning.
Inland highs should be 89 to 94 Saturday, 87 to 92 Sunday and Monday.
At the beach it’s 76 to 81 Saturday, 74 to 79 Sunday and Monday.
The pattern shifts slightly Tuesday through Thursday, with skies turning mostly sunny after partly cloudy mornings with patchy fog.
Expect inland highs of 87 to 92 Tuesday and 85 to 90 Wednesday and Thursday; on the coast, 74 to 79 Tuesday, 72 to 77 Wednesday and 73 to 78 Thursday.
