.DISCUSSION...Hot and dry conditions are expected again Wednesday
with high temperatures expected to be a few degrees warmer than

to the north is expected to filter into the area bringing haze and
potentially lowering air quality, with impacts possible, especially
for sensitive groups. Temperatures trend slightly less hot on Thursday.
