Southern California remains under an extreme heat warning as residents brace for the hottest day of the week on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“It will be roasty toasty in the valleys, lower mountain elevations and far interior, with highs ranging from 100 to 110 degrees,” the National Weather Service<\/a> said. The warmest conditions are expected in the western San Fernando Valley.<\/p>\n

An extreme heat warning<\/a> remains in effect for much of Southern California until 8 p.m. Thursday. Forecasters say there is a high risk of heat-related illness for anyone outdoors for extended periods. Heat advisories are also in place for areas along the coast.<\/p>\n

“Highs for today: 98 in Ojai, 100 in Ontario. Temecula, good morning to you, 100 degrees expected there. 112 in Palm Springs. Unbelievably hot,” KTLA’s Kirk Hawkins said Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Residents are urged to adjust their afternoon plans to limit strenuous outdoor activities during the heat of the day, stay hydrated and check in on elderly neighbors and loved ones.<\/p>\n

The Weather Service said record highs are slightly warmer than those forecast for Wednesday. As a result, despite the extremely hot conditions, few, if any, temperature records are expected to be broken.<\/p>\n

A few degrees of cooling are expected Thursday, but a more significant cooldown will arrive Friday as onshore winds increase.<\/p>\n

Afternoon highs are expected to cool even more over the weekend, with below-average temperatures possible in some areas.<\/p>\n
