STUDIO CITY (CBSLA.com) — It was rainy and cold to start the weekend, but we are starting the new week on a warm note.

From way below average to way above average!  High pressure is building into the west coast leaving us with spectacular weather again.

Highs will top out in the upper 70s to low 80s through Friday.  Look for sunny skies for the work week.

By the end of the week the ridge flattens out and we will cool down.  Right now a trough is expected to move through the region Saturday through Tuesday of the next week, but it looks dry.

Coast-low 70s

Basin-upper 70s

Valleys-low 80s

Mountains-mid 50s

Deserts–low 70s
