SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Nearly the entire first half of July was plagued by heat, but the final days of this prolonged heat wave is coming to an end this weekend.
A weather disturbance over Northern California will bring an end to our heat this weekend, replacing hot, humid conditions with cooler, breezier and drier conditions.
The troughing pattern squeezes out our monsoonal moisture, so the threat of thunderstorms isn't apparent this weekend and it won't feel so muggy out.
Gusty westerly winds will also come into play for Saturday and Sunday afternoon, especially in mountains and deserts where gusts of up to 45 MPH are expected.
Temperature-wise, we cool back down to seasonal normals the next few days with mid 70s for the coast, mid-80s for inland valleys and mountains and near 107 degrees for the deserts.
The marine layer rebuilds a bit for evening and morning hours across the coastline, with spottier coverage middle of next week.
Everything is extremely dry when it comes to vegetation and landscape, so elevated fire danger persists into the last week of the month and beyond.
