Portions of Los Angeles County, including Palmdale and Lancaster, as well as smaller towns in the San Gabriel Mountains and the Antelope Valley, can expect to see temperatures of 100 to 110 degrees.
An excessive heat warning was issued Saturday for Southern California's inland and desert communities, with triple-digit temperatures forecast through next week, bringing an elevated fire risk to some areas, according to the National Weather Service. The warning is in effect through 10 p.m. Wednesday. Heat warnings were also issued for mountain areas of Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, and for desert communities in the Inland Empire such as Victorville and Apple Valley.
“Vegetation is very dry, it’s been very hot,” Dierkes said, adding that officials hoped to extinguish the blaze as quickly as possible. Two people were treated for potential smoke inhalation, Dierkes said, and recreationists were evacuated from the East Fork of the San Gabriel River and from the parking lot area at the East Fork Trailhead. Residents have not been evacuated at this time.
