Highs on Monday are forecast to be 75 to 80 near the coast, 84 to 89 inland, 88 to 93 in the western valleys, 96 to 101 near the foothills, 92 to 99 in the mountains and 108 to 113 in the deserts.

Above-average temperatures, low afternoon relative humidity and gusty winds could lead to several hours of elevated fire weather conditions on the desert mountain slopes and into the deserts in the late afternoons.

Patchy fog with visibility down to 1 nautical mile was possible over the coastal waters Monday and Tuesday morning.
