An excessive heat watch was put out by the National Weather Service and will remain in effect until Sunday night at 9 p.m.
There will be dangerous heat for the Los Angeles County areas resulting in temperatures reaching triple digits across most valleys and lower mountain elevations. Highs will range from 100 to 105 degrees and there will be only modest relief at night. During the daytime hours, there will be the potential for heat stress including heat exhaustion and possibly heat stroke.
The Department of Public Health would like to remind everyone that precautions should be taken, especially by individuals who participate in outdoor activities, older adults, caretakers of infants and children, and those sensitive to the heat.
