Today's hot, but not as hot as Saturday's record-breaking heat

It’s another hot day today. A few degrees of cooling are expected across the region, with highs hovering between 85 and 90 in the Downtown LA area, 95 to 100 degrees in the San Gabriel Valley, and between the 70s and 80s along the coast and beach areas.

That's a little better than Saturday's mini heat wave, which broke some heat records: Burbank hit 101, Woodland Hills hit 103, and Downtown L.A. hit 99 degrees.

Yesterday's surprise heat caused issues on the trails too. The O.C. Fire authority says at least 15 people needed rescue for heat-related issues throughout the day.

In Riverside County, nine people received assistance. And in Hollywood, one hiker needed an airlift out of the hills.

Significant cooling is expected Monday, with low clouds and fog developing tomorrow night.

Specifically, max temperatures will fall across Los Angeles tomorrow — a 4 to 8 degree drop along the coast, and a 12 to 20 degree drop further inland. Valleys will be in the mid 60s to lower 70s tomorrow.
