Temperatures across much of the Los Angeles Basin and into the Santa Clarita Valley will be in the upper 80s and low 90s, or 10 to 15 degrees above normal for this time of year, Schoenfeld said.
The winds will be mostly confined to the L.A. County mountains and foothills, she said. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory from 10 a.m. Tuesday until 7 p.m. Wednesday for L.A. County, Orange County and the Inland Empire.
Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be the hottest days, although higher temperatures are expected through the end of the week, Schoenfeld said. Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to see temperatures in the mid-80s; temperatures are expected to be in the upper 70s to mid-80s on Thursday and Friday.
Schoenfeld recommended that those who live in high fire risk areas review evacuation plans and make sure they have a go-bag with essential items as wildfire season approaches.
