Everyone except the coast remains under an Excessive Heat Warning or Heat Advisory through tomorrow night. The heat begins to weaken Wednesday, after Tuesday brought desert communities near 120 degrees.
Take the proper precautions in this brutal heat. If you work outside, take frequent breaks in the shade, drink plenty of water, refrain from strenuous activities outdoors, and never leave kids or pets in a vehicle. Check on those elderly or vulnerable to heat-related illnesses and ensure they have adequate cooling systems.
The risk of fire danger is elevated. Check tires for loose tread or vehicles for loose parts because any spark could cause a wildfire.
By Wednesday, the dome of warm air weakens and moves south. This change will cool us down a few degrees, but more noticeable cooling arrives Thursday. Daytime highs will continue dropping through Friday, and temperatures will plummet week 15-20 degrees inland by Sunday.
On Wednesday night, expect the biggest and brightest full moon of the year, the "blue supermoon"! The "blue supermoon" will be the second full moon of August. As of right now, the views inland look clear.
Wednesday's Highs:
Coast: 74-87
Inland: 89-100
Mountains: 89-100
Deserts: 105-111
