With a ridge of high pressure building over Southern California, temperatures will soar into the one-teens this weekend.

An Excessive Heat Warning goes into effect Saturday morning for all of Eastern Riverside County, including the Coachella Valley.

Sunday we'll be on record watch for the 1985 record of 120°. Current forecast calls for 118°.
