Temperatures in Woodland Hills could peak at 95 degrees Monday, said Robbie Munroe, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Oxnard.

After the early-week spike, a 20-degree drop to about 70 degrees is expected by Thursday, Munroe said.

The brief sizzle is fueled by a peaking high-pressure ridge, along with an offshore flow that is pulling hot air from the mountains to the coastal areas, Munroe said.

Along Southern California’s coast this week, Munroe said to expect high surf with four- to seven-foot waves due to strong winds and storms to the west and northwest.

“It’s just a question of how far south that system makes it,” Munroe said.
