An upper-level ridge is bringing the heat, as it remains out west. Mother's Day will be a hot one, so find ways to stay cool. Records have been broken across the West, and the trend will continue over the next few days as this high remains in place. Saturday brought multiple records across California and the Northwest. Anaheim, CA saw a high of 98°, beating out the previous record of 92°. Baker, MT saw a high of 90°, smashing the previous record of 77°. These hot temperatures stick around for the next few days.

Numerous cities from now through Tuesday may break record high temperatures. Each dot you see represents a city that may break or tie a record high.CALIFORNIA

Temperatures tren above average over the next few days in Southern California. Los Angeles normally averages 74°, but will see a high temperature of 88 on Sunday. San Diego morally sees a mild temperature of 69° for this time of year, but will see a high of 80° on Sunday. With Bakersfield in the low 90s, Southern California is getting more of a summer-like feel!

THE NORTHWEST

Temps start above average on Sunday and Monday, but a trough will dig and bring much cooler air in place for many by Tuesday. Cities like Seattle and Portland remain on the mild side into the week.

For those who aren't a fan of the heat, just wait a few days! A big pattern shift will occur during the first half of next week, dropping temperatures to more seasonal spring-like weather. Stay tuned to Weather Nation for the latest details.
