"Hot temperatures will come roaring back Saturday," the Weather Service's Oxnard office said in a Thursday morning forecast. "This heat wave will not be as severe as the last few days but will still be warm enough to justify the excessive heat watches for the valleys and mountains."
In the last two days, daily heat records have fallen across the state. On Wednesday, it reached 111 degrees in Woodland Hills, breaking the previous record of 109 degrees set in 1991.
In Northern California, several daily heat records were broken Wednesday, including at Stockton airport where it reached 105, breaking its old record of 101 set in 1952.
Amid the summer-like temperatures, firefighters in Southern California have been working to halt three wildfires that broke out weeks earlier.
