For a second straight day, the temperature hit 100 degrees across inland Orange County, despite a National Weather Service forecast that said that our heat wave was about to break and that temperatures weren't likely to climb above the low 90s.
However, a Catalina eddy is developing off the coast and has been blowing comparatively cool air ashore, keeping beach communities comfortable. There will be more cooling on Monday as the high pressure system that produced this heat wave breaks down.
Here's a sample of high temperatures across Orange County through 4:45 p.m. Sunday.
|Yorba Linda||101 degrees|
|Foothill Ranch||100 degrees|
|Mission Viejo||100 degrees|
|Fremont Canyon||100 degrees|
|Caspers Wilderness Park||95 degrees|
|Laguna Beach||91 degrees|
|Santa Ana||90 degrees|
|Dana Point||78 degrees|
|Bolsa Chica State Beach||75 degrees|
