It is 100 degrees in Las Vegas. Reporter Nina Porciuncula is working on a heat story for the 5 & 6 p.m. newscasts. She headed to a local splash pad and playground to check out the conditions.
Grandma Gracie puts water on Ari’s scooter to cool it off and make sure she doesn’t burn her hands when she touches it. When we checked using our thermal gun, the handles were at 117 degrees. 🥵 #13FirstAlert pic.twitter.com/LeOCCLKRuD
