- High pressure brings above-normal warmth through Saturday with highs near 86°F today and 82°F tomorrow, before a trough offshore turns west winds gusty (15–25 mph) and cools things down through next week. A tropical setup draws remnant moisture from the Pacific—expect a slight chance of afternoon showers today and Friday, with more scattered chances returning mid-week as the monsoon pattern remains active.
An Extreme Heat Watch is in effect for Big Bear. The National Weather Service has issued the alert as temperatures are expected to reach dangerous levels in the valley.
Swim Beach is open today — a good option if you're looking to cool off during the heat.
