Breaking records and keeping cool
It’s been a record-breaking few days, with temperatures continually pushing past historical highs. The last two days saw records shatter, and today’s predicted heat might follow suit. So far this month we have only seen highs that are below normal twice!
Forecasting the next few days
The heat is expected to persist, with temperatures hovering around 96 degrees through the weekend and into next week. Despite a few fronts entering the state, right now it looks like we’ll stay rain free.
Extra factors at play
Adding complexity to the weather mix, smoke from Mexico’s wildfires has drifted into our skies, coming mainly from the south. This could slightly affect temperatures and visibility, so stay tuned to Storm Tracker 2 for the latest updates. This will make us hot, humid and hazy.
