LOS ANGELES — The first heat wave of the summer is hitting the Southland Thursday, sending temperatures into triple-digit territory and creating an elevated danger of wildfire and heat-related illnesses amid high temperatures, strong winds, low humidity and an abundance of very dry vegetation, forecasters said.
Temperatures will be around 10 degrees above normal Thursday and between 15 and 25 degrees higher than the average on Friday, said National Weather Service
