Weather Check: Another Hot, Hot Day

By 8 a.m., it was already 89 in the Antelope Valley, 92 in Palm Springs, 75 in downtown LA, 70 in Santa Monica, 74 in Van Nuys and 82 in San Pedro. Today will be mostly sunny, save for some patchy morning clouds still hanging around, according to the National Weather Service. As the day progresses, expect hot temperatures like yesterday--mid to upper 70s at the beaches and upper 80s to mid 90s inland--to continue. Tomorrow may cool down slightly, with inland temperatures reaching near 90, but the continuing heat wave trend is expected to pick up again on Thursday through the at least the weekend.
