    Topline:

    A heat advisory remains in effect across our region through tonight, with an excessive heat warning in the San Fernando Valley and desert areas.

    Excessive heat warnings: As usual, it'll be warmer farther away from the coasts. Temperatures will be in the low 90s up to 100 in the San Gabriel Valley, San Fernando Valley, and Santa Monica Mountains. The Santa Clarita Valley, Antelope Valley, and much of the Inland Empire will be 104 to 111.

    Heat advisory: The rest of the region is under a heat advisory. We'll see temperatures in the 80s to lower 90s in the Los Angeles area, and in the 80s along Orange County coastal areas.

    Air quality: Much of urban Southern California is also under an air quality alert, made worse by the 4th of July fireworks .

    Red flag warning: There's an increased risk for fire danger for the I-5 corridor, western Antelope Valley foothills, Ventura County and Santa Barbara County mountains where gusty winds could quickly spread fire. Some of these areas could get up to 112 degrees.
