A broad ridge of high pressure will settle over the area for the next week or so, bringing above-normal temperatures and dry conditions with occasional offshore winds. Expect clear blue skies today, with warming as highs reach the mid-70s. East to northeast winds will develop 10-15 mph, with stronger gusts to 30 mph below passes & canyons. Clear tonight with light winds and lows in the 30s. Mostly sunny and warmer tomorrow with highs in the mid to upper 70s, east winds continuing 10-20 mph at times. A smidge cooler over the weekend as a weak trough slides inland to our north, still pleasant with daytime temperatures in the mid-70s as overnight lows drop into the upper 30s and 40s. This anomalous ridge will amplify again next week, supporting unseasonably warm and dry weather as temperatures remain 5-10 degrees above average, even more in some locations, cooling slightly towards next weekend. At this time, no precipitation is in sight across SoCal over the next 10 days.
