Warmer weather, dry winds through weekend
High pressure is expected to bring warmer weather and northeast winds up to 45 mph later this week, forecasters said.
Above-normal temperatures may last through the weekend before the ridge of high pressure begins to weaken, the National Weather Service said.
By Friday, temperatures in coastal and valley areas of Los Angeles and Ventura counties are expected to reach the mid 70s and could be slightly warmer on Saturday, the weather service said.
