oseph Serna, with the Los Angeles Times, writes that Southern Californians can expect dry conditions and above-average heat this week as a stubborn high-pressure system continues to block the heavily anticipated El Niño rainstorms that weather officials warned of over the winter.
From Monday to Wednesday, coastal temperatures in Los Angeles County will hover in the low- to mid-70s and low- to mid-80s downtown and inland, according to meteorologist David Sweet of the National Weather Service.
Though temperatures will cool slightly over the weekend, there is no rain in the forecast for at least the next 10 days, Sweet said.
