New Year's Weekend Weather In Belmont Shore

BELMONT SHORE, CA – While most of the country continues to experience a snowy, cold holiday season, in the Southland it'll feel a lot more like summer. Highs as warm as the mid-80s are expected again in some areas Friday, and there's a 90 percent chance that the nation's highest temperatures today will once again be in Southern California, said National Weather Service meteorologist Rich Thompson.

"Near record heat is expected for some areas by Friday as high pressure builds overhead,'' according to a NWS statement. "Cooler conditions are likely this weekend with increasing cloud cover ahead of an approaching trough of low pressure. Rain is possible by the middle of next week as the trough possibly pushes into the West Coast.''
