Extreme Heat Wave Moves Into Southern California

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― A spring heat wave is sending Southern California temperatures soaring to record levels with 100 degree plus readings in some of the hottest areas.

The National Weather Service says the mercury reached a record 107 degrees in Woodland Hills Wednesday, beating a previous record of 106 degrees set in 1989. The Long Beach airport set a record with 93 degrees.

Forecasters say temperatures are expected to climb tomorrow and Friday as a strong high pressure system hovers over the region.

An L.A. County sheriff's sergeant says hot weather may have contributed to the death of a 150-pound Rottweiler, which was left inside a parked car in Norwalk for an hour and a half Wednesday afternoon.

The dog's owner was arrested for investigation of animal abuse and on an outstanding misdemeanor warrant.
