LOS ANGELES –  Much of California is getting ready for record-breaking temperatures, with a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms in the coming days.

According to the National Weather Service, the surge of warmth is expected statewide on Friday, May 30, with temperatures in some inland areas going near or above 100 degrees.

“There is an increasing chance — 30% to 40% — of Friday’s highs approaching or breaking calendar daytime record(s) across some valley and desert areas,” the agency said in its May 27 forecast.

According to the NWS, temperatures in Los Angeles and Orange counties will reach the upper 80s and peak on Friday at around 94 before a gradual cooldown.
