SoCal braces for spring heat wave

LOS ANGELES - Spring is officially in full swing. However, it’s going to feel a lot more like summer in Southern California to start the week.

Meteorologists even warn of the potential for record-breaking temperatures.

What we know:

Monday’s temperatures are expected to jump 10 to 15 degrees higher from where they were over the weekend.

While forecasters with the National Weather Service haven’t issued any heat warnings, they are warning of unseasonably warm weather.

"There are certain risks out there for certain vulnerable populations, so we do have some elevated concerns for the heat. So, you want to make sure you drink a lot of water, especially if you have to work outdoors," said FOX 11 Meteorologist Maria Quiban.
