**Breaking News: Unseasonably High Temperatures and Coastal Warnings Hit Southern California Ahead of Father’s Day**
In a startling weather update, Southern California is bracing for unseasonably high temperatures as we approach Father’s Day weekend. Meteorologist Alex Biston delivered a crucial forecast this morning, revealing that temperatures across the region will soar well above average, with some areas nearing the 100-degree mark.
As of 6 a.m., a live look at Long Beach showcased a blanket of clouds stretching from the coast to the valleys, but expect those clouds to dissipate rapidly throughout the morning. By afternoon, the mercury is set to rise, with Los Angeles and Burbank hitting the 80s, Riverside in the low 90s, and Lancaster just shy of the century mark.
But there’s more to this story. Beachgoers should be on high alert as a high surf advisory has been issued, warning of dangerous five to six-foot waves along the coastline from Ventura County to Orange County. Those planning to celebrate Father’s Day by the sea should exercise caution, as the surf conditions could pose significant risks.
The forecast indicates that the heat will persist into the coming days, with the Inland Empire expecting high 90s tomorrow and temperatures remaining elevated through Monday. The valleys will also see a rise, with mid-90s expected.
As we head into the summer season, the heat is only intensifying, and the National Weather Service urges residents to stay hydrated and take precautions against heat-related illnesses. With summer officially starting on Friday, Southern Californians should prepare for a sweltering week ahead.
