SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Temperatures could climb into the 90s Thursday in the San Diego County inland valleys for the first time this year and highs in the deserts could reach the triple digits, according to the National Weather Service.
A patch of high pressure will drift in from the coast starting Thursday, causing a rapid rise in temperatures before conditions start cooling on Sunday, forecasters said.
The NWS issued a heat advisory that will be in effect from 11 a.m. Friday to 6 p.m. Saturday in the inland valleys.
