The next few days in Southern California will be very, very hot.
The first heat wave of the summer will start to bear down on much of the Golden State on Friday and may continue into the following week. The National Weather Service said places such as Palmdale and Bakersfield might see 105-degree temperatures, and Los Angeles County's valleys could experience 100 degrees by Saturday.
And it's just the start of what is anticipated to be a sweltering summer. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts that weather in July and August will be warmer than usual.
