A foggy morning will transition to a sunny and hot afternoon. Near-record high temperatures are expected today and Friday. For inland neighborhoods, that means highs in the upper 90s, with upper 80s closer to the coast.< img src="https://mediaassets.kristv.com/weatherimages/CB_VISIBILITY.jpg">
If you plan to be outside, please remember to hydrate, wear sunscreen, and continue to avoid activities that could spark a fire. With a pair of cold fronts on the way to bring windy and dry weather, our fire danger will be of utmost concern Friday and Saturday. Cooler weather is expected this weekend and into next week, but no meaningful rainfall is in sight.
