Weather

It was hot Wednesday with a high of 99 degrees. Look for 100 degrees tomorrow! Tonight, we fall slowly into the 80s with an overnight low of 76. The hot temperatures continue into the weekend, with no rain relief. We'll have better chances for that next week so plan for a hot, dry weekend ahead. Check Justin's full forecast for more.
