Yesterday we had a few temperature records, but it’s worth noting that many of our valley, mountain, and desert areas could have record-warm overnight lows. We’ll keep an eye on this.
While these heat advisories/warnings are set to expire Thursday night, we’re still looking at a warm weekend.
The inland valleys will stay in the mid-90s range, and the mountains will also be close to the low 90s. Meantime, the desert region will have triple-digit temps up to 110 through early next week.
The coast will continue to be the area in the county to seek relief from the heat this weekend as daytime highs will be around the low to mid-70s.
