The Heat Returns This Weekend

Hot and Dry on the Way after Bertha's Departure

Maybe a day or two of slightly less hot days (not necessarily cooler) but heading into the weekend things start to heat up and early next week we get hot again with multiple sights threatening the century mark.

And now, back to our regular programming...With Bertha gone, the big topic will be the heat. Highs will be in the mid-90s through the weekend. Depending on humidity, we may need to issue heat headlines. Some details are in the chart. Stay tuned for updates! 💧 Stay hydrated ⏰ Limit strenuous outdoor activity ❄️ Use AC when available 👕 Wear light clothing #LAwx #MSwx
