Forecast Discussion:

In case you were wondering, the average high for this time of year is around 84 degrees. On the other hand, afternoon high temperatures today through the weekend will be between 95 and 100 degrees! What is the reason for this heat? You likely know the answer by now: high pressure.... This pattern will also result in light winds and mainly clear skies through the weekend.

Regarding air quality, ozone, PM-10, and PM-2.5 are all forecast to be in the Good AQI category.

Stay cool, and have a great Wednesday!
