Ah, autumn. Season of falling leaves, candied yams — and record temperatures?

Heat records toppled Tuesday in the San Fernando Valley, and more may fall in the days ahead across Southern California as highs in the 90s rage on through the Thanksgiving holiday, according to the National Weather Service.

Fueled by a strong ridge of high pressure and offshore winds, highs reached 91 degrees Tuesday at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank and in Woodland Hills, breaking by several degrees the old records for both areas set in 2002.

More heat is on the way and will rage on through the weekend. “We will likely not only have record highs, but we could approach highest temps for this late in the year,” according to an weather service statement.

Southern California will continue to bake all week — and not just pumpkin pies. Highs are expected to top 95 in some areas Wednesday and Thursday, especially in the Inland Empire.

Forecasters warned of elevated wildfire risks, noting that gusty winds may develop below mountain passes and in canyons throughout the Inland Empire.

“A trough (of low pressure) in the northeast Pacific will gradually shift east during the weekend and bring a cooling trend (starting Friday),” according to the weather service.

Temperatures will moderate as the ridge is displaced to the east, but they will remain above average going into next week, forecasters said.
