From north to south, California is set to sizzle this weekend. Here are the hottest spots
A heat wave is set to inflict misery on nearly the entire length of California starting Friday. Triple-digit heat is expected up and down the state, pushing record-level temperatures for the first time this year. Heat advisories are in effect for large swaths of the region over the course of the two-day heat wave, with possible thunderstorms near the border with Nevada in the Reno area. Look for advisories across Northern and Southern California, including the Bay Area, Central Valley and Central Coast. On Friday, temperatures in Southern California are expected to range from eight to 16 degrees above normal, with highs in the 90s to just above 100 degrees across the valleys, lower mountains and deserts, according to the National Weather Service's Oxnard office. "By Friday, levels reach 'Major (Red)' in many areas, which means heat affects anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration," the National Weather Service posted on X. In Los Angeles County, the Public Health Department issued a heat advisory for residents in the western and eastern areas of the San Fernando Valley, as well as the Santa Clarita Valley, warning of the high risk of heat-related illness for sensitive populations — adults who are 65 and older, as well as children and those with chronic illnesses. Forecasters are expecting temperatures to reach as high as 100 degrees. To the north, from the Shasta Lake area to the Sacramento Valley, "dangerously hot conditions" are expected, with temperatures from 99 to 107 degrees, according to the National Weather Service's Sacramento office. And the Mendocino area could see sizzling temperatures of 102 to 105. Along the Central Coast, the thermometer could hit 100, with intense heat anticipated in the city of Paso Robles. Locals and travelers headed to the Cuyama Valley, southern Salinas Valley or the mountain and valley areas of San Luis Obispo County are being warned of the triple-digit heat. Temperatures as high as 106 are forecast for a portion of Central California including Merced, Madera, the San Joaquin Valley, Fresno, the Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Foothills. An extreme heat warning is also in effect for Death Valley, where temperatures are expected to exceed 115 degrees. The National Weather Service in Reno has issued a fire weather watch from Saturday morning through Sunday evening due to gusty winds, low humidity and the chance of dry lightning. There is a 10% to 15% chance of isolated dry thunderstorms with gusty, erratic winds primarily in the Sierra. Starting Saturday, temperatures across California are expected to begin to trend downward, with the largest drop in temperatures occurring in Southern California south of Point Conception, forecasters say. There is also a slight chance, about 10% to 15%, of precipitation on Saturday afternoon in the San Gabriel Mountains. Also Saturday, Tropical Storm Alvin should be nearing the southern tip of the Baja coast, funneling tropical moisture into San Diego and other parts of Southern California. South of Point Conception, there will be a 10% to 20% chance of showers through Sunday night, forecasters say. For residents living in areas with general to extreme heat advisories, health officials advise you to: Drink plenty of fluids. If possible, stay in air-conditioned rooms. Check on relatives and neighbors. If you have to be outside, wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing and a hat, and use an umbrella. Avoid going out during the hottest hours of the day. Stay in shaded areas as much as possible. Never leave pets or children alone in a car. Cars get very hot inside, even with the windows cracked or open, officials said. If you don't have access to air conditioning or a cool environment, there are free cooling centers, splash pads and community pools in Los Angeles County. You can find which cooling centers are near you by checking the Find Relief From the Heat section of the Ready L.A. County Website. Public health officials say heat-related illnesses, such as exhaustion and heatstroke, increase significantly during extreme heat. Symptoms of heat-related illness include vomiting, dizziness, confusion, and hot, red, dry or damp skin. If you see or experience any of these symptoms, move to a cool place and call 9-1-1.

‘Now is not the time': Trump cuts to L.A. overdose prevention efforts alarm experts
Nearly a decade into California's fentanyl crisis, public health experts are finding cause for both optimism and worry. Fatal opioid overdoses in the state have finally receded from record highs, with around 6,700 deaths recorded in the first half of 2024 — a roughly 16% drop from 2023's peak. But doctors, researchers and some L.A. County officials warn that many key measures credited with turning the tide are in jeopardy. President Trump has slashed federal funding for addiction treatment programs, with some services in L.A. County on the chopping block. Preliminary L.A. County data show around 1,300 fatal overdoses caused by fentanyl and other opioids through mid-2024, around 300 fewer deaths compared to a similar time in 2023. Several experts said an emphasis on harm reduction, including increased availability of the overdose reversal drug naloxone and fentanyl testing kits, was behind the improvement. But money earmarked to support such efforts is now drying up. An L.A. County Public Health Department spokesperson said the federal cuts included rescinding more than $45 million in harm reduction grants. Some funding for substance abuse prevention was also terminated mid-contract due to the federal budget changes, the spokesperson said. 'Just as we're making progress on overdose numbers, now is not the time to divest,' the Public Health Department's statement said. At the same time, local authorities are re-embracing a more traditional approach to fighting crime, which includes pursuing longer prison sentences against some drug offenders. Californians voted to pass Proposition 36 during the last election cycle, imposing stricter penalties for repeat theft and crimes involving fentanyl. L.A. County Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman campaigned last year on the drug crisis, pledging to hold 'fentanyl poisoners/murderers fully accountable for their actions of spreading this poison throughout our communities.' 'Every fentanyl dealer will be warned of the severe repercussions to their liberty if they kill a person with their poison,' Hochman's campaign website said. Ricardo Garcia, L.A. County's public defender, said the renewed emphasis on punishment for drug crimes feels like a flashback to when lengthy sentences for crack fueled mass incarceration. 'It's something that we've seen before that rises very quickly and often has a devastating effect on poor communities, Black and brown communities, and quite frankly, taxpayers, as the cost of dealing with this over-policing,' Garcia said. The parallels to the crack era are troubling to many working on the front lines of today's crisis, from dehumanizing rhetoric — describing fentanyl users as 'zombies' — to punitive sentencing policies. Shoshanna Scholar, director of harm reduction for L.A. County, said the key to saving lives is clear: Ramp up naloxone distribution and overdose prevention efforts in high-risk communities. 'Over the last 25 years, there's been a real reckoning with substance use and seeing it as a chronic condition, as opposed to bad behavior that requires punishment in order to change it,' Scholar said. 'We know there's another path and it actually works to reduce the number of dead people.' Since 2023, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has invested over $1 billion in grants for naloxone distribution, fentanyl test strips and other anti-overdose initiatives. Naloxone — also known as Narcan — is now available for purchase for all California residents through the CalRx initiative for $24. At this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, End Overdose, a Burbank-based organization, had a booth near the festival's EDM stages offering naloxone training, free doses and a variety of swag. At the stall, two twentysomething festivalgoers, Mimi and Lily — who asked to be identified only by their first names to discuss drug use — said they had been taking every possible precaution for fear they could be sold something laced with fentanyl. 'Honestly, we learn the most from Reddit and from our parents. They are always telling me to be careful about fentanyl,' said Mimi. 'It reminds me a lot of when people promote abstinence when it comes to safe sex, when they really should be talking about condoms and birth control. Because, either way, people are going to do drugs, so you have to make sure you are doing it safely.' Dr. Brian Hurley, the county's medical director who oversees addiction treatment initiatives, said implementing harsher penalties on drug users can increase the risk of overdose, as people are more likely to use alone and in secret. 'It becomes harder to engage people in an open, honest, neutral conversation about if they are ready to stop using, if they are ready to try interim housing or take a shelter bed. All of these things get people off the street in a way that advances what I think most people really want,' Hurley said. He and others noted that even with the tough-on-crime policies of the 1980s and '90s, crack cocaine use has never gone away. And despite local authorities saying for years that arrests and prosecutions alone are not the solution, experts said it's still difficult for those in need of treatment to find help. 'People are pushing more severe penalties and more arrests, but it's just that's not how you stop people from using a drug you don't want them to use,' said Dr. Ricky Bluthenthal, a public health professor at USC. 'Generally speaking, incarceration isn't a place where people get better.' That message, however, runs contrary to the hard-line approach now being pushed by the White House. Trump has cited fentanyl deaths as a reason for tariffs against China, a source of chemical ingredients used in clandestine labs, and suggested drone strikes on Mexican drug cartels. Trump has also declared fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction and called for giving drug dealers the death penalty For Dr. Daniel Ciccarone, a UC San Francisco professor who researches public health and drug use, it's hard not to see history repeating itself. The professor, who recently published a paper about 'moral panics' surrounding drug use, said elected officials have long been more concerned with optics and approval ratings than addressing the underlying causes of addiction. 'We're afraid of this drug, and we're afraid of people who use the drug,' Ciccarone said. 'When we get fearful, the natural human response is to look for security. Who can make us feel more secure? The police and courts.' The recent trend in overdose deaths at least offers a glimmer of hope, he added, even if no one can agree on the best path forward. 'I recognize that as a human impulse of fear, urgency and panic, that we must do something,' he said. 'I've heard this from the police saying, 'We have to be seen as doing something,' and I say, 'OK, but don't make the problem worse.''
