How hot is it today? 'Mini heat wave' to scorch Southern California with above normal temps
Southern Californians are in for a 'mini heat wave' this weekend, with temperatures soaring between 10 to 20 degrees above normal for some parts of the region. It's prompting heat advisories for some areas through Saturday, including the Inland Empire, parts of the Santa Ynez Mountain range, Los Angeles and Ventura counties' valleys, the Santa Monica Mountains, and the southern Salinas Valley area. The heat advisories warn that people, particularly the elderly and children, can face heat illness due to the high temperatures this weekend. The National Weather Service Los Angeles said that for Friday and Saturday, temperatures between 88 and 98 degrees will be common, which can be anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees above normal. The NWS Los Angeles issued its forecasted maximum temperatures on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Here's where it's going to reach 90 degrees or higher in the Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties: Canoga Park: 100 degrees Paso Robles: 98 degrees Ojai: 97 degrees Covina: 96 degrees Cuyama: 96 degrees Lancaster: 96 degrees Santa Clarita: 95 degrees Fillmore: 93 degrees Acton: 92 degrees Los Angeles: 91 degrees Pyramid Lake: 90 degrees As for the Inland Empire region and toward San Diego, the NWS San Diego released its forecasted highs for Friday. Here's where it reaches higher than 90 degrees in the region: Palm Springs: 106 degrees Thermal: 104 degrees Ocotillo Wells: 103 degrees Borrego Springs: 102 degrees Lake Elsinore: 102 degrees Hemet: 99 degrees Riverside: 99 degrees San Bernardino: 99 degrees Ontario: 98 degrees Means Lake: 96 degrees Temecula: 96 degrees Beaumont: 94 degrees Ramona: 94 degrees Tecate: 94 degrees Victorville: 93 degrees Anaheim: 92 degrees El Cajon: 91 degrees Hesperia: 91 degrees Lucerne Valley: 91 degrees For Orange, San Diego, western Riverside, and southwestern San Bernardino counties, expect Saturday's high temperatures to be several degrees warmer than Friday, according to NWS San Diego's early morning forecast discussion. Temperatures in the Inland Empire can range from 100 to 106 degrees, and 104 to 108 degrees for the lower deserts. Come Sunday, temperatures should be five to 10 degrees cooler than Saturday for the coast and valleys, said NWS San Diego. While the 'mini heat wave' is through Sunday for southwest California, according to the NWS Los Angeles, the peak is Friday and Saturday. Heat stroke is the 'most serious' form of heat injury caused by your body overheating, typically caused by being in high temperatures for too long, according to the Mayo Clinic. People with heat stroke should seek medical treatment immediately as it can cause damage to the heart, brain, kidneys and muscles. If treatment is delayed, people with heat stroke can face 'serious complications or death,' said the Mayo Clinic. While waiting for emergency treatment, people experiencing heat stroke should go indoors or get into the shade, remove excess clothing and try to cool down. A few options to cool yourself down include a cool shower, getting sprayed by a garden hose and placing ice packs or cold towels on the heat, neck, armpits and groin. Symptoms of heat stroke, the Mayo Clinic said, include: The main sign of heat stroke will be a core body temperature of 104 degrees or higher Altered mental state or behavior Skin feels hot and dry to the touch due, or profuse sweating if the heatstroke is brought on by strenuous exercise Nausea and vomiting Flushed skin Rapid breathing Racing heart rate Headache Paris Barraza is a trending reporter covering California news at The Desert Sun.

Orange County to issue evacuation warnings Thursday for possible flooding, debris flows
Rain bringing possible flooding and risks of debris flows near the burn scar of last year's Airport Fire led to Orange County officials announcing Wednesday that evacuation warnings for those areas will be issued Thursday morning. The voluntary warnings will go into effect 8 a.m. Thursday and will apply to communities within Trabuco Creek, including a campground and school there, and the areas of Starr Ranch and Hot Springs Canyon, including Lazy-W Ranch, Long Canyon and Modjeska Canyon. The 23,000-acre Airport Fire broke out in September in Trabuco Canyon, located in the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains just north of the city of Rancho Santa Margarita, injuring at least 21 people and destroying over 110 homes in Orange and Riverside counties. A flood watch will be in effect in the area from 10 a.m. Thursday until 4 a.m. Friday, according to the National Weather Service. "Evacuation routes can quickly become impassable due to mud, debris or flooding," Orange County officials said in an advisory Wednesday announcing the coming evacuation warnings. A map showing where evacuation warnings will be can be found here. How's the rain been treating you? ☔️ Here's a look at what to expect as the heaviest precipitation rolls through Thursday evening and night. #CAwx — NWS San Diego (@NWSSanDiego) February 12, 2025 Across Southern California, forecasters have warned of a strong storm this week bringing risks of flooding, mudslides and debris flows throughout the region, particularly in areas burned by recent wildfires. The risk of landslides and debris flows is particularly high when heavy rain hits burn scars as the soil in such wildfire-scorched terrain can develop a top layer that repels water, potentially leading to mud and debris being carried over the landscape, according to the California Office of Emergency Services. Emergency preparations have also been underway in other parts of Southern California burned by recent fires, including areas of Los Angeles County where the deadly Palisades and Eaton fires ripped through last month. LA County officials said Wednesday morning that evacuation warnings may be announced for these burn-scarred communities. While evacuation warnings are voluntary, and not mandatory orders to flee, state officials say they do warn of a potential danger to life and property and those placed under such warnings should be prepared to leave in case a mandatory evacuation follows later. O.C. officials said people with disabilities and others needing additional assistance with evacuating should call the Orange County Sheriff's Department Dispatch at 714-647-7000. Other resources and information for those affected by the coming evacuation warnings in the county can be found here.
