An excessive heat warning for the 5 and 14 freeway corridors, the western San Gabriel Mountains, the Antelope Valley foothills and the Antelope Valley, was extended by the National Weather Service through 6 p.m July 10. Forecasters said much of that area could see temperatures of up to 110 degrees, with interior valleys and foothills possibly reaching 115.Forecasters noted that the Antelope Valley could shatter a notable heat record over the coming week.
'We have close to 1,800 shells that are going to be going off so it's definitely a real decent-sized show,' said Chris Pankonin, a pyrotechnic operator for Garden State Fireworks. Another excessive heat warning will be in effect until 6 p.m. Monday in the Santa Clarita Valley, the Santa Monica Mountains Recreational Area, Calabasas, San Fernando Valley and eastern San Gabriel Mountains, where temperatures up to 110 degrees are possible.
