Another heat wave is coming to Southern California, with near-record temperatures expected early next week, forecasters said Saturday.
A heat advisory was issued for 10 a.m. Monday through 8 p.m. Tuesday for greater Los Angeles, the Santa Monica Mountains and the San Gabriel and Santa Clarita valleys.
Temperatures are expected to surpass 100 degrees in parts of the San Fernando, Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys beginning Sunday and continuing through Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service, which said the heat would likely peak Monday and Tuesday.
Highs in downtown Los Angeles were expected to exceed 90 degrees Sunday through Wednesday.
The hot, dry conditions were also expected to bring elevated brush fire danger away from the coast through Wednesday.
Some cooling is possible later in the week, according to forecasters.
