From the LAT:
Cooler ocean air should bring some respite to LAX, where travelers experienced 105-degree heat Monday. Air travelers can expect a high of 83 degrees at the airport Tuesday, which is slightly above average. More cooling -- another 10 degrees or so -- is expected Wednesday, when a ridge of high pressure will move out of the area. Once the high-pressure system moves east of the Los Angeles Basin on Wednesday, temperatures will start to drop even more.
