Record heat yet again in the Coachella Valley
Like Tuesday, afternoon temperatures climbed into record territory.
An average high for the date is 105° but above-normal temperatures continue to plague the desert southwest with a strong ridge of high pressure in place.
The Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect through 8:00 p.m. Thursday as temperatures reach 113° and higher.
In the Gulf of Mexico, Laura is a major hurricane with 150 MPH winds. This makes the storm a strong category 4. "Catastrophic storm surge, extreme winds, and flash flooding expected along the northwest Gulf Coast tonight."
