Southern California, Dallas Experience Widespread Heat Spikes This Week

Across Texas and Southern California, a warm weather pattern is developing this week with temperatures rising significantly. Dallas is experiencing a warm spell with highs reaching up to 100 degrees midweek, accompanied by southwest winds and gusts, and a chance of showers by the weekend. Similarly, Southern California, including San Diego County, will see a warming trend due to a high pressure system, with inland areas experiencing highs in the 80s and desert regions potentially reaching triple digits through the weekend. Coastal areas in San Diego will remain cooler but partly cloudy, with marine layer influences lessening and no hazardous marine conditions expected. The heat is expected to peak by Friday and Saturday before a cooling trend begins Sunday into early next week, bringing temperatures below normal by Tuesday in both Southern California and nearby mountain regions. Heat advisories may be issued in some parts of Southern California, particularly in valley areas, but coastal zones will see milder conditions due to the marine layer.
