A dangerous heat wave will continue to grip San Diego County valleys, mountains and deserts Friday, through the weekend and into next week, the National Weather Service said.

Monsoonal moisture Sunday and Monday could bring a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms to the mountains and high deserts, the NWS said. The marine layer was likely to continue to moderate the heat near the coast.
