Coronavirus: Angelenos Urged To Resist County Beaches During Heat Wave

SANTA MONICA, CA — Hot, windy weather hitting Southern California Thursday is prompting warnings about heat-related illnesses, driving in the mountains and wind-prone areas, and not traveling into other counties to visit the beach.

A high wind warning is in effect until 9 a.m. for the San Gabriel Mountains, and in and around the Grapevine, which could get gusts of up to 75 mph. Such strong winds could bring down trees and power lines, causing outages, and make driving on Highway 33, the 5 Freeway and 14 Freeway harrowing.

Temperatures along the coasts are expected to reach the upper 80s, while inland areas are expected to see 90s, and the National Weather Services says people who work outdoors should take extra precautions to avoid heat stroke.
