Following a rather warm Monday – and a wind advisory – across Los Angeles County, forecasters predict hotter days with potentially record heat for the next week.
The National Weather Service said to expect "Highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s” Tuesday in L.A. and Ventura counties and only slightly cooler to the north.
"Our next big offshore push will come Tuesday night into Wednesday with more wind advisories and possibly warnings through Thursday. And along with that another boost in temperatures pushing highs close to record territory."
Forecasters said "near-record-high" temperatures are most likely between Wednesday and Friday, with the gustiest Santa Ana winds anticipated Tuesday night and Thursday, according to City News Service.
Additionally, the NWS has issued an excessive heat watch for the L.A. County Coastal region stretching into downtown, as well as the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys that will be in effect from Wednesday morning through Friday afternoon.
An excessive heat watch will also be in effect for Orange County coastal and inland areas during the same stretch, CNS reported.
Forecasters warned that "dangerously hot conditions with temperatures up to 90 degrees" are possible.
"Extreme heat will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities," the NWS said.
"Be prepared to drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true during warm or hot weather when car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes."
