A wildfire that broke out near Laguna Beach was moving toward Newport Beach.
The fire broke out as a winter heat wave hits California this week with an anomalously warm mass of air overhead and desiccating offshore winds kicking up. Southern California has seen especially warm temperatures in the high 80s to low 90s.
"We're looking at a range of temperatures between 85 and 90 degrees between Wednesday and Friday. The temperatures are about 15 to 20 degrees above normal," said David Sweet, a meteorologist with the weather service, noting that downtown Los Angeles could hit a high of 90 degrees this week."Typically, the high temperature in downtown Los Angeles would be 68 at this time of year. I would say it's unusual.
