Studio City To Endure "Dangerously Hot Conditions" This Weekend

STUDIO CITY, CA — The National Weather Service is urging Southland residents to prepare for a heatwave from Friday through Monday. Temperatures in Studio City are expected to reach 100 degrees on Friday, 102 on Saturday, 98 on Sunday and 94 on Monday. Temperatures in parts of the San Fernando Valley could soar as high as 109 degrees.

"Extreme heat will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities," the National Weather Service said.

The warning advises people who work outside to schedule breaks in the shade or air-conditioning whenever possible. The NWS also issued a reminder not to leave children, pets or the elderly inside locked cars, even with the windows down, as interior temperatures can quickly rise to fatal levels.

A heat advisory is in place until 9 p.m. Monday for the San Gabriel, San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys, and the San Gabriel and Santa Monica mountains. The heat advisory for Antelope Valley is in place until Tuesday evening.
