LOS ANGELES – Part of California is bracing for a third day of record summer-like heat.
The National Weather Service posted a heat advisory Tuesday for the Santa Clara Valley near San Francisco, including the city of San Jose.
Many Californians headed to beaches Monday as temperatures hit a record 100 degrees in downtown Los Angeles and a definitely unseasonable 93 in San Francisco.
Forecaster Bonnie Bartling says sea breezes could hold temperatures down on the Southern California coast Tuesday but valleys and mountain areas will stay blazing.
The weather service says the heat is speeding the melting of snow in the Sierra Nevada.
