A slight cool off is in the Santa Clarita weather forecast before temperatures exceed 100 degrees by the weekend.

On Monday temperatures are expected to be in the upper 90s which is set to be the start of a cooling trend throughout the week in Santa Clarita, said Rich Thompson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

“We are expecting somewhat cooler temperatures,” Thompson said.

Tuesday temperatures are expected to be in the lower 90s, and by Wednesday temperatures are set to be in the mid to upper 80s, Thompson said.

Over the next few days, the marine layer is expected during morning and night hours, according to officials.

Despite temperatures cooling off, the fire threat is still elevated for the foothills and mountain areas due to gusty winds in the afternoon, Thompson said.

By the weekend, temperatures are expected to once again spike, with conditions 15 to 20 degrees above normal, Thompson said.

“Looking toward the weekend, by Saturday and Sunday temperatures will be climbing up around 100 to 105, which is well above normal,” Thompson said.

Normal temperatures for this time of year are around 84 to 85 degrees, according to officials.

With temperatures exceeding the 100 degree mark by the weekend, elevated fire conditions are expected to peak again in the Santa Clarita Valley, Thompson said.
