(From the AP) Temperatures surged around the state Saturday as Southern California continued its rare high-humidity heat wave and state officials investigated a rash of recent farm worker deaths believed tied to the weather. With a sultry, unstable airmass refusing to budge, forecasters predicted close to record temperatures and no break from the heat until Monday. Sunday is expected to be slightly cooler.

The National Weather Service issued an excessive-heat warning through Saturday night for mountains and valleys.

No record highs were reported but the mercury topped out at 104 degrees in Woodland Hills and 102 in Pomona. Triple-digit temperatures were the norm across the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys and in desert areas.
