In the Inland Empire, Lake Elsinore was 105 and Riverside was 101, the Weather Service said.

In the desert, Blythe reached 107 degrees and Palm Springs and Indio hit 106 degrees.

Monsoonal moisture is expected to move into Southern California and bring cooler temperatures Wednesday. But the moisture could spark thunderstorms, according to the Weather Service.

The agency said warmer weather is expected during the weekend.
