The heat wave that’s hitting the Western U.S. means it is going to be a very hot weekend for parts of the Tri-Counties.
There’s an excessive heat warning for the mountains and inland valleys of Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo Counties. Temperatures could hit around 100 degrees.
But, the marine layer is continuing to keep things much cooler along the coast. Oxnard, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Pismo Beach will all have highs in the mid-70’s to around 80.
Meteorologists say the heat wave could peak Saturday. But, they say the cooling will be gradual, and it could be the middle of next week before we get back to normal.
