The official high today was 103, making it our 13th triple-digit day so far this year on our exclusive “Misery Meter.” The record on this day was 109 set in 1980. I have some very good news if you’d like a couple days off from the extreme heat. That good news is below…
TONIGHT: The skies will be clear, and the winds will slowly die down. The SW winds will range from 10-35 mph with the strongest gusts on the east slopes of the mountain. Overnight, the winds will turn light, and the low will drop to 74.
