MANTECA, Calif. — City officials in Manteca have decided it's hot enough to open its cooling center in preparation of Northern California's incoming heat wave.

Shellie Lima, San Joaquin County's Office of Emergency Services' Deputy Director, said the majority of the county is under a heat advisory and that they are still watching for if they should open all of the county's cooling zones.
