Because of the monsoonal moisture flowing into the region, the marine layer that's been fairly thick along the coasts will likely be broken up.
Due to the Nixon Fire in Riverside County, there will also be relatively poor air quality throughout the Inland Empire at least until Thursday. The fire is polluting the air with fine particulates that make it difficult to breathe. Cities most affected currently include Ontario, Riverside, San Bernardino and Corona.
This day in history
On this day in 2023, a haboob was produced in the outflow of decaying thunderstorms in the lower deserts. Gusts of wind over 40 mph occurred for an hour across the region and visibility was reduced to one quarter mile at Thermal and Palm Springs airports.
Things to do
This latest bout of Summer heat provides a good opportunity to enjoy some live events. Here's something to do that will keep you cool in the afternoon and evening:
- Outlaw Fest: — Hollywood Bowl — 2301 N. Highland Ave., Hollywood — When Willie Nelson calls and asks you to play with him, you say yes. We have to assume that’s what happened when the lineup for Outlaw Fest came together. Nelson and his family band join music icons Bob Dylan and John Mellencamp as well as rising country star Brittney Spencer at the Bowl for an event that starts early and will surely jam till Bowl curfew.
Check out our full list of things to do this week.
