"We're talking about a 12-degree jump from today to then, so it's really going to get going," said NBC4 forecaster Stephanie Olmo.

Here are some of the sizzling highs in this week's forecast.

Temperatures at the beaches will be lower, but still climb into the upper 80s in Santa Monica beginning Wednesday. Long Beach will see highs in the upper 80s, rising to 89 and 91 next weekend. 

In Orange County, inland highs will hover in the mid-to-upper 90s through the weekend. Overnight lows will not offer much relief either, staying in the 70s in most of the hotter areas.

Health officials advise residents to stay indoors with air conditioning whenever possible.
