An Excessive Heat Warning went into effect this morning, and lasts until Monday night at 8.
That warning will likely extend into next week as hot temperatures continue. The mountains and valleys will continue to climb in the 90s and low 100s, while deserts soar to near 120 in the coming days. Ramona, Valley Center and Alpine will be some of the warmest spots inland.
The coastal and beach communities will be nice, but areas like Oceanside and Carlsbad will hover close to 80 over the next several days.
The heat peaks Friday through the weekend, and fire danger will be elevated. We'll likely break daytime high records for some of the desert communities, including Borrego Springs.
If you work in the field, take frequent breaks and stay close to adequate shade. Drink plenty of fluids and stay hydrated. Check on those who are vulnerable and elderly, and never leave pets or children in vehicles.
Wednesday's Highs:
Coast: 74-86
Inland: 86-97
Mountains: 85-96
Deserts: 106-113
