Heat wave continues in parts of Southern California as triple-digit heat impacts Inland Empire, valleys
A KCAL News Next Weather Alert goes into effect and will remain until Friday for all inland communities. The alert was issued Monday to warn residents that an upcoming weather event might impact their daily and precautions should be taken.
KCAL Meteorologist Amber Lee says peak temperatures will be on Thursday and will linger into Friday.
A National Weather Service heat advisory is also in effect until 8 p.m. Friday for San Bernardino and Riverside County valleys and the Inland Empire. Weather officials say temperatures could reach up to 106 degrees in the advisory areas.
A high-pressure system slightly to the east is pushing the hot air into the region. A shallow marine layer will keep the heat away from the coast.
The NWS HeatRisk map categorizes areas like Fontana, Highland, Loma Linda, San Bernardino, Riverside and Perris as areas with "major" heat risk, which means conditions could be harmful to anyone "without cooling/hydration, as well as health systems and industries."
Once the heat wave passes, there will be slight cooling through the weekend.

Planning your Outside Lands 2025 weekend? Don't forget a jacket
For tens of thousands gathering in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park this weekend for Outside Lands, the question is not if it will be foggy — it's how much fog they'll be dancing through. The 2025 edition of the festival will take place under a reliably overcast sky from Friday through Sunday, Aug. 8-10, with limited sunshine expected between sets, according to the National Weather Service. Daytime highs are forecast to hover in the mid-60s, while nighttime lows will dip into the upper 50s — typical summer weather for San Francisco's western edge, said newsroom meteorologist Anthony Edwards. Cloud cover is expected to reach 60% to 85% during peak festival hours, especially on Friday and Sunday, with only slight afternoon clearing predicted on Saturday. 'Do remember that San Francisco summers can get quite chilly,' festival organizers said in the Outside Lands handbook. 'Be prepared — check the weather forecast, bring layers for when the fog rolls in, wear comfortable shoes for uneven park terrain, and stay hydrated!' Organizers recommend bringing blankets, windbreakers, and reusable water bottles — free refill stations are located throughout the grounds. Lockers are available to store extra layers and charge phones. A clear bag policy is in place, so attendees should review permitted sizes and materials in advance. After-hours 'Night Shows' are scheduled across the city, with venues from the Independent to 1015 Folsom hosting smaller sets into the evening. As always, getting to the festival requires planning. Parking is not permitted near the park, and most guests are encouraged to arrive via Muni, BART and shuttle service, or bike in and take advantage of the festival's free bike valet. For first-timers and seasoned Outside Lands veterans alike, one thing is certain: the fog is part of the experience. Layer up, and embrace it.

Colorado fire department West Metro urges caution amid heightened fire conditions
Fire Capt. Aaron Johnson has had a busy summer with west Metro Fire Rescue. "I'm just trying to get the resource coordination to where everyone is in the right place at the right time no matter the conditions," Johnson told CBS Colorado. Back in July, Johnson was named the department's new wildland coordinator just as temperatures rose into the high 90s, where they've stayed almost the entire summer. "We're in the part of the state where [the National Weather Service] listed the threat as very high," Johnson said. "Obviously, we're in a hot, dry, windy day." With blazes raging on the Western Slope of the state, including two fires on either side of the town of Meeker, those in the Denver metro area are taking notice and getting ready. "We have our preparedness level internally set to what we call level 2," Johnson said. What that means to West Metro Fire is that a wildland unit will be on-call, even for non-wildfire related service needs in case they need to be activated at a moment's notice for even the smallest burn. "We want you to home-harden and mitigate your home," Johnson said. "When you're preparing your family, sign up for alerts. In Jefferson County, that's Lookout Alert." Even outside of West Metro's main administration building in Lakewood, the fire rescue agency prepares the same way it expects everyone else to. It trims the trees next to the building regularly and uses rocks or non-combustible materials for landscaping. "We wouldn't want evergreens or bushes like this near your house because the chances of it drying out and catching fire are really high," Johnson explained, He showed a hedge on the other side of the parking lot away from the building. While metro area residents might think of defensible space as something that only exists for houses in the foothills or more forested areas, neighborhoods and suburbs can also do their part to keep fires from getting worse. As temperatures stay near 100 degrees, fuels such as plants and trees get dry, and fire agencies keep a close eye on everything happening in their area. "Sometimes, it takes neighbors working together," Johnson said. "You can do a lot to your home to prepare it for a fire, but, if your neighbors aren't doing things to help their house from catching on fire, it could expose your house."

Order to boil water before drinking in Malibu continues due to bridge construction delays
An order to boil water before drinking or using continued Thursday for some residents of Malibu following bridge construction work at Solstice Creek, according to the California Department of Transportation andLos Angeles County Waterworks. The agencies said that a water main was temporarily disrupted while the bridge construction took place. After concrete unexpectedly blocked the water line, water supply restoration was delayed. Crews finished repairs Wednesday at noon and were working to re-pressurize and test the water line for any pathogens or contaminants, according to a statement from L.A. County Waterworks in District 29. The work was expected to be completed by Friday, the department said. The boil order, which began on Wednesday, affected areas west of Corral Road and Solstice Canyon Road. Residents should boil water for at least one minute before drinking or using, as recommended by the State Water Resources Control Board to avoid "potential stomach or intestinal illness due to possible contaminants in the water system," the order said. L.A. County Waterworks said bottled water was being distributed at two locations on Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The locations include the Malibu Public Library on Civic Center Way and the Malibu High School on Morning View Drive, in front of the administration building. Meanwhile, residents in Granada Hills and Porter Ranch experienced a water service outage on Tuesday that occurred while crews were repairing a leak at a pump station that connects to a 10 million-gallon water tank, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power said. A boil order for those neighborhoods, issued on Tuesday, continued all day Wednesday. It was not immediately known when the boil order would be lifted in the Malibu area.
