March heat wave in Southern California

More heat + more drought = more fires.

"The National Weather Service is forecasting a heat wave over the next three days that will push temperatures into the 90s in some places, probably breaking records.

The forecast is the latest twist in a period of unseasonable weather, with the Southland on pace to experience its driest year on record.

The Santa Anas blowing in from the desert this weekend are expected to be weak. That doesn't sound like much — except Santa Anas aren't supposed to be blowing in March to begin with.

"It's going to be bad fire weather," Patzert said. "One thing that's been really constant has been the Santa Anas. We've had hot Santa Anas, cold Santa Anas and mild Santa Anas. We've had a lot of Santa Anas and no rain." "
