Several high temperature records were set or tied Thursday and more could fall Friday as Southern California rides the tail end of a winter heat wave.

Woodland Hills hit 88 degrees on Dec. 28, breaking a record set in 1963. Burbank reached 84 degrees and Lake Elsinore soared to 89.

Friday is expected to be the warmest day of the hot spell.

"Definitely inland areas probably should be as warm as yesterday if not a little bit warmer today," said Richard Thompson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "So it's going to be definitely another very warm day across the area. There's a possibility of some more records being set, especially across the valleys."

Temperatures are expected to dip Saturday and return to the low or mid-70s by New Year's Day.
