The Streamline: Thursday, July 9<\/p>\n
TOP STORY<\/p>\n
A lingering influx of extra-intense summertime heat will keep the eastern reaches of the San Diego area sweltering through the end of the workweek, generating potentially unhealthy temperatures in some areas.<\/p>\n
In the local deserts, the hot spell will make for triple-digit thermometer readings — possible reaching the 117-degree mark — with nighttime lows mostly in the 80s, according to the National Weather Service. An NWS extreme-heat warning will remain in effect in those locales through at least 8 p.m. Friday.<\/p>\n
For the same period, the federal agency has issued a less urgent heat advisory for the East County mountains, where temperatures into the upper 90s are expected.<\/p>\n
EXTREME HEAT RESOURCES<\/p>\n
Authorities advise people in the hottest spots to prevent heat-related ill health effects by drinking plenty of non-alcoholic fluids, staying out of the sun during the warmest times of the day, taking shelter in air- conditioned spaces if possible and checking up on at-risk friends, relatives and neighbors.<\/p>\n
A modest light cooling trend is likely over the weekend as high pressure moves off to the northeast, according to meteorologists.<\/p>\n
