Seriously?!?! It's Going To Get Even Hotter

Today's weather forecast comes from the "you've got to be effing kidding me!" department, thanks to unseasonably warm...err, HOT...temperatures that are not going to drop off for a few more days.
The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook, thanks to this fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk September heatwave.
We can thank a "broad area of high pressure" over the west coast this week for the latest "warming trend." Come Wednesday through Friday, we are going to see temps during the day soar 10 to 20 degrees above the seasonal norm. It's going to be hottest in the western San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, and Ventura County valleys, where temperatures are going to hit the 100F mark and beyond, up to 105F.
If you can, hit the coast, where things will be cooler there, with temps in the 70s. But even the non-Valleyites won't have much to be smug about, when it's going to be in the mid-90s even in Downtown L.A.

For those who are ready to sip those pumpkin lattes and don their scarves, fall isn't coming anytime to soon to Los Angeles. Actually, while the NWS says things will cool off by a mere 5 to 10 degrees over the weekend, it's going to stay this warm into next week. Oof. Stay hydrated, Angelenos!
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
