Southern California faced another day of hot, dry and gusty weather Friday as Santa Ana winds swept across the region.
More temperature records were likely to be set, the National Weather Service said. Long Beach is expected to hit a high of 89 degrees today. On Thursday, the temperature reached 90 in the afternoon.
A high of 95 degrees in Anaheim was among a half-dozen records set Thursday as conditions brought elevated risk of wildfires.
A brush fire that erupted on Catalina Island was stopped after scorching 17 acres, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said.
Forecasters said a cooling trend will slowly develop over the weekend but temperatures will remain well above normal early next week.
