Heat Wave Eases but Will Continue into Next Week
The National Weather Service expects lower but still quite similar temperatures for next week.
A heat wave now in its second week and is forecast to go into a third. However it relaxed a bit in part to a weak onshore flow.
The heat is the product of a hot air mass that remains parked over the region, which is not unusual for this time of the year, according to National Weather Service forecasters.
