California swelters in record-breaking temperatures as heat wave continues

Updated

Large parts of California are under excessive heat warnings and advisories to start the week as temperatures across the state have broken the 100 degree mark.

Palm Springs saw its all-time high broken Friday when the mercury hit 124 degrees and Fresno is forecast to reach a high of 116 degrees Sunday.

Some relief is on the way for coastal areas as the heat dome that settled over the west moves east, according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Elizabeth Danco. "Temperatures in cities near the Pacific coast, including San Francisco and Oakland, California, are expected to dip to near historical averages for July," Danco said on the forecaster's website

Here is the three-day forecast for cities in California from AccuWeather.
