Labor Day will be sweltering as forecasters warn of dangerous rip currents, fire risk
"Dangerous rip currents, as well as elevated surf of up to six feet, could strike beaches in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, with the highest risk on south-facing shores, especially from Point Mugu to Malibu, the National Weather Service said in a beach hazards statement, which remains in effect through Monday evening. Swimmers can be pulled out to sea by the currents, and the Weather Service is advising beachgoers to stay near lifeguard towers or avoid the water altogether."
"Most of the region is under heat advisories until Tuesday evening, with highs of 95 to at least 105 degrees expected in the Santa Clarita and San Fernando valleys. Woodland Hills could hit 107 degrees on Tuesday. Areas near downtown Los Angeles, including the San Gabriel Valley, could experience highs of 95 to 100 degrees Sunday and 95 to 103 degrees Monday and Tuesday."
