...TEMPERATURES SOARING TO 95 to 105 DEGREES IN ISOLATED 
LOCATIONS TODAY...

As of 1130 AM PDT this late Saturday late morning, temperatures
have soared into the middle and upper 90s across the Western San
Fernando Valley near the foothills, as well as portions of the
Santa Clarita Valley. In the Ojai Valley, temperatures were a
little cooler, but were still quickly rising.

Through the early to mid afternoon hours, temperatures will likely
top out in the 95 to 103 degree range, bringing the potential for
significant heat impacts to isolated locations. Expect large 
variations in temperature over short distances, as the sea breeze 
advances farther inland with time, ushering in cooler conditions 
from the coast. Nevertheless, the hot conditions will persist on
at least a spotty basis through the day today.

The chance of Heat Advisory issuance remains at only 20 to 30 
percent, because the coverage of significant heat will be too 
limited. However, significant heat impacts will be of concern 
through the day over the Western San Fernando Valley near the 
foothills, the Santa Clarita Valley, and the Ojai Valley. 
Remember, a Heat Advisory does remain in effect for the Santa 
Barbara County South Coast and Santa Ynez Mountains. The timing of
greatest concern for heat impacts will be this afternoon.

Here are heat safety tips. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an 
air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on 
relatives and neighbors. Take extra precautions when outside. Wear
lightweight and loose fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous 
activities to early morning or evening. Take action when you see 
symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
