Be sure to bring sunscreen along on your weekend activities — the ultraviolet index for the weekend will reach 11 and 12. A very high exposure level reading of 10 or greater means a fair-skinned person could suffer a sunburn in about four minutes if not protected.
As usual during heat waves, forecasters urged people to drink plenty of fluids, seek out air conditioned spaces and check in on vulnerable relatives and neighbors.
"Extreme heat will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities," according to the NWS.
While it will be hot, it won't be record-breaking hot.
"LA valley records are at least 105 and likely out of reach for this event as models only showing an 18 percent chance of highs over 105 in Woodland Hills," according to the weather service.
