In a dramatic shift from the cool start to summer, Amber Lee’s latest weather forecast reveals a significant change in conditions across Southern California. As of 5 a.m. this morning, low clouds and fog have enveloped the region, a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of coastal weather. The latest updates indicate that while coastal areas are waking up to a blanket of clouds, inland communities are experiencing a mix of clear skies and comfortable temperatures.

The LAX camera captures the low-hanging fog that has rolled in, creating a visually striking, yet concerning, scene for early risers. Wind patterns show light to calm conditions, but the direction of the winds is crucial, pushing clouds further inland than expected. This morning, temperatures are hovering in the low 80s for areas like Ontario and Lake Elsinore, while Yorba Linda reports a mild 77 degrees. However, the coastal regions are seeing a chillier start, with temperatures only reaching the upper 60s to low 70s.

As we head into the week, a weather system is on the move, promising a rise in temperatures that could push inland areas into the low 90s by midweek. The marine layer is expected to return overnight, hinting at a fluctuating forecast ahead. Residents are urged to prepare for a swift transition back to typical Southern California heat, with mid-70s expected today and a gradual climb into the 80s.

Stay tuned as we monitor these rapidly changing conditions, ensuring you’re equipped for whatever summer throws your way. The heat is returning, and it’s time to embrace the summer sun!
