Los Angeles, CA – As East Los Angeles braces for scorching temperatures this weekend, residents are urged to plan for highs exceeding 90 degrees. Those traveling on or near Interstate 5 should prepare for significant heat-related impacts, which may include slower traffic due to overheated vehicles.
The National Weather Service reports that East L.A. will see temperatures reach 91 degrees today and Sunday. The extreme heat combined with light winds could make conditions hazardous for outdoor activities. Officials advise staying hydrated, wearing lightweight clothing, and limiting exposure during the hottest parts of the day.
Relief is expected early next week. By Tuesday, temperatures should dip into the mid-80s with patchy fog in the morning, offering cooler conditions for commuters. The fog may create limited visibility for drivers, particularly along the Interstate 5 corridor, so it’s important to proceed cautiously.
Even as the week progresses, the forecast remains mostly sunny, with temperatures fluctuating between the mid-80s and low 90s.
