Temperatures in the Inland Empire, and elsewhere, are likely to soar up to 10 degrees above normal, forecasters said.
The ISO, which oversees the state’s electric power grid, aims to ensure the reliability of the grid as power use is expected to go up amid abnormally high temperatures.
Sirard said areas with shallow marine layers like Woodland Hills and Van Nuys can expect the hottest temperatures. NWS forecasts daytime highs up to 102 degrees on Wednesday and into the upper 90s to finish the week. The San Gabriel Valley can also expect upper 90s averages into Thursday and Friday. Temperatures are expected to simmer down this weekend due to stronger onshore flow off the ocean, but the sizzle still isn’t likely to stop then.
