High temperatures, heat expected in valleys and Inland Empire over next several days
The Inland Empire and valley communities are bracing for a major warm-up as
above normal temperatures
and heat are expected over the next couple of days.
KCAL News has issued a Next Weather Alert through Friday for extreme heat in areas like the Santa Clarita, San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys as well as the Inland Empire.
Next Weather Alerts are meant to keep communities up to date about weather events that might impact daily life. It is not expected to be dangerously hot but much warmer than normal. The
National Weather Service
has not issued any heat-related advisories.
The coastal clouds will linger in the mornings and evenings, but the afternoons will be sunny and hot.
The NWS said daytime temperatures will be well above normal for this time of year.
A high-pressure ridge will stay over the Southern California region until the weekend before cooler conditions begin.
During this period, the Inland Empire will be the warmest it's been since October 2024, according to KCAL News Meteorologist Amber Lee.
Lee recommends people take caution during peak heat hours and try to limit physical activity outside to the earlier part of the day.
