Southern California broils under punishing heat wave. When will it end?
Briefly

It's a widespread, dangerous heat event. It's significant in terms of how hot it's going to be and the duration. We have overnight lows that will be very, very warm to even hot.
Southern Californians shouldn't expect a major reprieve until Tuesday, as high temperatures will only tick down 2 to 3 degrees over the weekend. Valleys will see temperatures of up to 112 on Monday.
We wouldn't necessarily get this extreme heat in September, but it can happen. This latest event is still remarkable for its intensity.
Temperatures are expected to drop Tuesday and Wednesday, reaching levels closer to normal in most areas.
