Temperatures reach between 105° and 106° Wednesday through the weekend, which is average for late July and early August. Lows each night will be in the upper 70s to near 80°; that's a bit below-average.
A round of afternoon wind gusts between 25 and 30 mph is here Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
The air quality forecast is "moderate" today and tomorrow, due to ozone that accumulates during the warm season.
The forecast pollen levels are "low-medium" today, and "medium" tomorrow through the end of the work week. Grass and chenopods are listed as the predominant pollen types.
