In Depth:
We're on record watch Wednesday. The record for the day is 100° — set in 1988. Also, If we can make it to 100°, it'd be the first time in nearly a decade.
The stagnant hot air mass continues to erode air quality. Ozone levels remain at unhealthy levels so the Air Quality Alert will continue through late Wednesday night.
A weak cold front Wednesday night will bring a chance for a few precious rain drops and will also help clear out some of the ozone. So, temperatures will dip just a touch Thursday with cleaner air in place. The mercury soars back to the upper 90s for the weekend.
