The Weather? Hot and Hazy All Over Again

Southern California’s weather this weekend will not even qualify as a variation on a familiar theme--it will be a repetition, forecasters said.
“And I don’t see much change for the next week,” said Dave Beusterien, a meteorologist with WeatherData Inc., which provides forecasts for The Times. “We’ll probably be singing the same song and same verses next week.”
Those lyrics go something like late-night and early morning clouds along the coast, hazy afternoons and high temperatures ranging from the 70s at the beaches to well above 100 in the deserts.
About a 20% chance of isolated afternoon and evening thunderstorms exists for the southern Sierra Nevada, San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountains and desert areas, Beusterien said.
“It’s just impossible to delineate where they might hit,” he said. “One day it might be the northern desert; one day the southern desert.”
Weekend readings at the beaches will range from the low to mid-70s. The mercury will climb 10 degrees higher at the Los Angeles Civic Center, and highs inland will be in the low to mid-90s. Inland valleys will range from the low 90s to 104.
Mountain areas will see highs in the 80s, while desert highs will range from the upper 90s to 113. Death Valley could reach a high of 118.
