Southern California's quintessential summer weather has finally arrived, and along with it excessive heat warnings and heat advisories for large swaths of the region.
After months of persistently overcast skies and cooler conditions, Southern California is set to see its highest temperatures of the year this weekend as an oppressive heat wave blankets much of the state.
An excessive-heat warning has been issued for the Antelope and Santa Clarita valleys and other desert areas of Southern California, where temperatures could top out at 108 degrees on Saturday and Sunday, said David Gomberg, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. The warning begins at 11 a.m. Saturday and will lift at 10 p.m. Sunday.
