Heat on the rise through the week
We've been battling heat and humidity all week, but the heat is going to win out heading toward the weekend. An Excessive Heat Watch will go into effect Friday lasting through Sunday evening.

Broadly, high pressure still controls the weather pattern across the Western states, with moisture rising up from Northern Baja into SoCal.
