Extreme Heat, Drought, and Ross Fire

Dangerous heat continues after 18 consecutive 100°F-plus days and a potentially record-tying 110°F reading. Monday is forecast near 102°F, with limited rain chances Tuesday through Thursday, brief relief into the 90s, and renewed triple-digit heat afterward; drought, falling lake levels, and wildfire risk remain active.
