Thunderstorm activity is winding down for the day as we lose our daytime heat, though you wouldn't know it, with many areas across SoCal still running on the hot side this evening. The warm and humid weather will stick around through Friday with possible afternoon thundershowers, then we'll start to get some relief over the weekend. Looking at partly cloudy skies this evening with an isolated shower or thunderstorm possible, clearing overnight with lows in the 50s. Expect partly to mostly cloudy skies again on Wednesday with scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs will top out near 80 degrees with southeast winds 5-15 mph, gusty near any storms. Thunderstorm activity should become more isolated on Thursday before ending on Friday as a drier southwest flow begins to develop. High pressure over the area will also weaken and shift east this weekend, allowing a trough to return to the west coast next week. This should lead to a gradual cooldown with near-normal temperatures and dry weather next week.
