‘Mini heat wave' to blanket Southern California this weekend
The National Weather Service is advising SoCal residents that a 'mini heat wave' will set in this weekend.
Much of the heat will be felt in inland communities, NWS said in their area forecast discussion on Saturday morning.
'High pressure aloft will keep the weekend [heat] away from the coast,' the area forecast discussion reads. 'Max temperatures will be similar to Friday's very warm readings…more records could fall [on Saturday].'

Weather officials noted that the 'mini heat wave,' which peaks Saturday, will bring highs of 88 to 98 degrees to the region, which is 10 to 20 degrees above normal. Sunday will still be hot; temperatures as high as 90 degrees are forecast for some areas.
Officials also advised local residents that the 'mini heat wave' poses a high risk for heat illness, especially for sensitive populations.
A Heat Advisory is in effect for many communities in Ventura, Los Angeles and Riverside counties, as well as the southwestern portion of San Bernardino County, until 9 p.m. Saturday. The advisory states that daytime temperatures could reach 'around 103 degrees' and that overnight low temperatures will offer 'little relief' from the heat.

Lake Tahoe water temperature remains cold, posing risks for swimmers
( — With the weather getting warmer, the water temperatures of Lake Tahoe are still on the cooler side, according to the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District. NLTFPD stated that before you swim, check the temperature of the water and know your limitations. Lake Tahoe remains the second deepest lake in the United States; because of this, the temperature remains lower year-round. At this time, NLTFPD said that the lake temperature is currently in the high 50s, which is considered to be cold water and can quickly lead to cold water shock, swim failure, and hypothermia. 'Cold water shock is a real risk. An average of seven people drown in Lake Tahoe every year due to cold water shock,' said NLTFPD officials. 'Cold water shock occurs when the body enters extremely cold water and the muscles lock up, resulting in temporary paralysis.'

During the summer and throughout the year, NLTFPD responds to numerous water emergencies on the lake, according to officials. Here are some safety precautions before heading to the cold waters at Lake Tahoe. Boat Safety: Each person on board a boat, including paddleboards, must have at least one USCG-approved life Jacket Children under 13 must wear a USCG-approved life jacket while the boat is underway, unless they are in an enclosed area Carry a whistle or horn Dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature Check the weather forecast for wind conditions Never go on the water alone Don't drink alcohol while recreating on the lake File a float plan – leave it with a friend or family member Swim Safety Wear a USCG-approved life jacket Know your swimming limitations Enter the water slowly Feet first, first time Swim with a buddy Respect the dangers of cold water Check the weather for wind conditions Stay hydrated Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Hot and dry weather this weekend
Drier weather will continue to move into New Mexico into this weekend. Storm chances will still be possible Friday afternoon in far eastern New Mexico. That includes another threat of severe weather. Temperatures will continue a warming trend across the state Friday. On Saturday, only a spotty shower or two is likely in northeast New Mexico, but on Sunday, more isolated storms are possible in northern and eastern New Mexico. Temperatures will again continue to warm up through the weekend, with Sunday being the hottest day for most. More moisture will move into eastern New Mexico Monday, bringing a better chance for showers and thunderstorms up to the northern mountains as well. Outflow from those storms will push moisture as far west as the Continental Divide Tuesday morning. This will bring a more widespread chance for storms Tuesday afternoon. Rain chances move back into eastern parts of the state Wednesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
