Thank goodness it's Friday, Roseville!

Let's get your day started with everything you need to know about what's happening in the 'Ville.

But first, you need to know about today's weather:

The work week is ending on a high note, literally, with temperatures expected to reach 102 degrees today. It'll cool down to around 67 tonight. Winds remain at 5-10 mph and humidity will be a little lower at about 29% during the day.

Here are the top stories today in Roseville:

1. Two Nevada women were arrested at a Roseville gas station Tuesday afternoon after dropping off two toddlers, a two-year-old and a four-year-old, at a Northern California fire station. The children, identified later as the grandchildren of one of the women, were left at the station with sparse information before the women sped away. (Sacramento Bee)
