Warm Weather Expected to Last Into Weekend
- Share via
It was mighty warm--some might say hot--in downtown Los Angeles Wednesday with a high of 96 degrees, only three degrees below the record of 99 set in 1909. The humidity ranged from 13% to 41%.
More highs in the 90s are expected in the Southland today, according to Meteorologist Marty McKewon of WeatherData Inc., which provides forecasts for The Times. He said the cause is a strong ridge of high pressure over the southern half of the state.
“What that’s bringing is no coastal low clouds or fog,” McKewon said. “Skies are completely sunny. It can get very hot in Southern California. That’s what has happened this week.”
McKewon predicted the warm weather will continue into the weekend.
