Hurricane Beryl will be entering the Gulf of Mexico and approaching the Gulf Coast. The high pressure system centered over Northern CA will be deamplifying slightly and moving over Southern California. The heatwave continues on and a major problem is that the tropical cyclones track in conjunction with a sharpening trough over the midwest will be reamplifying the high pressure system over Southern California. This is occurring just as the high pressure cycle is winding down. The taller (stronger) the hurricane, the more it will subsequently ‘pile up’ additional air for stronger high pressure over California. Thus at this point there is no heat relief in near sight. Mid to late July is likely the earliest the monsoon trough will move over the area.
