Expect things in the Valley to heat up this week.

A strong ridge of high pressure aloft will build over the region as temperatures will climb to the mid-nineties Wednesday and the upper nineties Thursday and Friday. Saturday and Sunday and into early next week will see triple digits for the Imperial , Mexicali and Yuma Valleys. The overnight lows will be in the mid- to upper 70's.
