Weakening high pressure and a stronger sea breeze will give way to some decent cooling across the coast today. A little less cooling inland but it won't be nearly as oppressive as yesterday! Just one more day of heat before we get a break! We got this! #CAwx #LAheat #heatwavepic.twitter.com/rnW34MX3Yl

There is a possibility of beach lightning over the weekend for #SoCal beaches. Seek shelter if you hear thunder or see lightning - do not wait until it's close! Remember, beach gazebos are not a safe place to shelter! #CAwx #LAweatherpic.twitter.com/mpck0bWUtr
