The National Weather Service predicts that "record breaking heat" could reach the Southland Tuesday as breezy conditions and low humidity threaten to cause a heightened chance of forest fires.
"A strong ridge of high pressure combined with locally breezy offshore winds will bring near record high daytime temperatures through Tuesday," the NWS warns.
