Few will forget the exceptional, record heat of March 2026. Sunday make our 5th record in a row with three more records coming this week. Today’s high was 96, which broke the record of 93 set in 2017. Here’s a summary of the records so far since Wednesday.
We FINALLY get a “cool” front, a brief interruption to our stretch of record days. Here’s your exclusive 9-Hour Forecast for Monday with your 9-Day Forecast below.
TONIGHT: The skies will be partly cloudy, and the winds will shift overnight as a “cool” front comes in. The winds will turn north and then NE at 10-35 mph. This will cause much stronger gusts on the west slopes of the mountains. The winds could also stir up a bit of a dusty haze in the night. The low will be 58.
