Sherman Oaks Heat Advisory Extended Through Friday

SHERMAN OAKS, CA — The fall heat wave currently roasting Sherman Oaks will not let up until at least Friday, according to the National Weather Service. NWS extended its heat advisory for the area for another day as the scorching temperatures are expected to stick around.

Temperatures reached 100 degrees in Sherman Oaks on Tuesday. Highs of 104, 102 and 99 are expected over the rest of the week.

"Hot temperatures may cause heat illnesses to occur," the National Weather Service warned. "Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances."
