A significant warming trend will begin in Southern California Monday, generating triple-digit temperatures in Los Angeles County valleys, National Weather Service forecasters said.

The NWS attributed the warming trend to an upper-level high-pressure system strengthening over Northern California and Nevada combined with "a weak northerly wind component at the lower levels."

"Widespread triple-digit heat is expected across the lower mountains, Antelope Valley and interior valleys," according to an NWS statement.

By Tuesday, an increase in monsoonal moisture will potentially lower temperatures a few degrees across Los Angeles and Ventura counties, but the increased humidity "will lead to significant discomfort," it said.

In fact, the discomfort will start Monday. An excessive heat warning issued by the NWS will be in effect from 10 Monday morning until 10 Monday evening in the Antelope Valley, where highs will range between 106 and 109 degrees, the NWS said. A slightly less serious heat advisory will be in effect from 10 this morning until 9 p.m. Tuesday in the San Gabriel Mountains and the Santa Clarita Valley amid highs ranging from 95 to 106.

"This is a dangerous situation with an increased threat of life- threatening heat-related illness," according to the NWS.

Forecasters urged people who work outdoors to save strenuous activities for the early morning or evening, wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, and drink plenty of water.

Above all, they said, be aware that "temperatures inside vehicles, even if the windows are partially open, can quickly rise to life-threatening levels. Never, ever leave people or pets in enclosed vehicles, even for a short period of time."

The NWS forecast a mixture of partly cloudy and sunny skies Monday in L.A. County, along with highs of 77 at LAX; 80 in Avalon; 84 in Long Beach; 85 in downtown L.A.; 90 in San Gabriel; 92 in Pasadena and Burbank; 95 on Mount Wilson; 100 in Woodland Hills; 105 in Saugus; 107 in Palmdale; and 108 in Lancaster.

Sunny skies were forecast in Orange County, along with highs of 70 in Laguna Beach; 73 in San Clemente; 76 in Newport Beach; 85 in Irvine; 86 in Anaheim and Mission Viejo; 89 in Fullerton; and 90 in Yorba Linda.

Temperatures will stay the same in some communities Tuesday, climb in others by up to 4 degrees and decline by a few degrees in some areas, including Lancaster, where a high temperature record for a July 30 was matched Sunday, when temperatures reached 106 degrees, the same as in 2000.
