One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

A cooling trend will begin today, with near to below normal temperatures the rest of the week.

Quick Facts

  • Today’s weather: Warm, sunny
  • Beaches: 70s
  • Mountains: 80s/90s-104
  • Inland: 80s-90s
