The National Weather Service in Los Angeles posted a heat advisory Thursday morning for San Luis Obispo County interior valleys and western mountains warning of “temperatures up to 101.”

The advisory also included Los Angeles County, San Gabriel Valley and other areas in the Southern California region.

The National Weather Service warned that heat-related illnesses can increase significantly during heat events and encouraged people to be mindful of increased risks of fires and avoid activities that could generate sparks.

The advisory also asked people to report any fires to authorities as the high temperatures and recently windy skies spike the risk of dangerous wildfires.

The heat advisory comes as higher temperatures were already expected throughout the region this week, according to the Service’s daily forecast discussion.

In Paso Robles, temperatures are expected to stay mostly in the high 90s, though they could spike to about 101 on Saturday. Atascadero is forecast to be much cooler, with temperatures between 85 and 93 degrees through the weekend.

Meanwhile, temperatures along the coast and in San Luis Obispo were expected to be cooler due to morning clouds and fog cover. There, temperatures will reach the mid-to-high 70s, according to the Weather Service’s forecast.
