Get ready for a hot weekend in Southern California as above-average temperatures are expected, with valley and inland areas reaching well over 100.<\/p>\n
All inland communities are under a CBS LA Next Weather Alert today through Tuesday.<\/p>\n
“It is going to be scorching as this high-pressure system is getting stronger and getting closer to us,” CBS LA Meteorologist Amber Lee said. <\/p>\n
It will also feel muggy due to warmer ocean waters and lingering humidity from tropical storm Genevieve.<\/p>\n
Forecast highs are within a degree or two of daily records in many locations, with a chance of new record temperatures on Saturday.<\/p>\n
“These temperatures are hotter than normal for summer,” Lee said. <\/p>\n
Valley communities are expected to reach 106 on Friday afternoon, with peak heat at 107 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles and Orange County metro areas will see highs of 94 on Friday and Saturday, with highs in the Inland Empire ranging from 106 to 108.<\/p>\n
Although a gradual cooling trend is expected to begin Sunday, forecasters say temperatures will remain above normal into next week.<\/p>\n
A high surf advisory remains in effect with waves reaching 4 to 8 feet and a high rip current risk.<\/p>\n
