A blistering heat wave will persist across portions of California and the southwestern United States into the weekend — but meteorologists say that relief from the stifling summerlike conditions may finally be on the way across parts of the region.
Excessive heat warnings and heat advisories are in effect for portions of California.
The heat that has been holding across parts of California and the Southwest late in April really ramped up during the first full week of May.
“Temperatures have already been running 5-8 degrees above normal so far this month,” said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brian Thompson. Notable temperature milestones continued to fall in some places on Wednesday, while new records were set in other locations.
The temperature at Los Angeles International Airport peaked at 86 degrees Fahrenheit, just three degrees shy of the daily record which was set back in 1941.
Accompanying the heat have been strong offshore winds, raising the concern for continued drought and fire dangers across California.
“While it’s early in the season, there will be an elevated fire risk into Saturday as the offshore winds bring humidity levels down,” Thompson added.
However, there is some relief in sight for the heat-weary area, and as the offshore winds are expected to begin to subside, cooler conditions will return to much of California finally.
