Another hot and dry day is ahead.
Today:
Sunny and hot, with highs around 102–103°F. South winds will be 10–15 mph, with gusts up to around 25 mph.

Elevated fire weather conditions are also expected this afternoon and early evening. Very dry vegetation, hot temperatures, low humidity, and breezy south winds will create an increased potential for fires to start and spread quickly.

If you’re working or spending time outside today, stay hydrated, take frequent breaks, and limit strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest part of the afternoon. NEVER leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle.
Tonight:
Clear and warm, with lows in the mid 70s. South winds will remain around 10–15 mph.
Overall, expect another hot, dry day, with elevated fire danger and dangerous heat for anyone spending extended periods outdoors.
