New This Morning: Expect a mostly "gray" day. We lowered rain chances Monday as an upper-level low shifts east. A brief sprinkle is possible in the morning, but clouds will dissipate throughout Monday afternoon. Full forecast in the video below!

❗️Protect the paws! 🐾🔥 Remember, the ground is much hotter than the air temperature! I took my infrared thermometer outside and the asphalt is 140°… Paws can burn in less than 60 seconds! Please keep pets indoors until temperatures cool down tonight.

New heat alerts issued, wildfire smoke arrives from Canada, and possibly our first 100° of the year!? Oh boy... Check out the latest details here! kptv.com/2025/07/14/fir…

major_weather's tweet card. It’s a scorcher out there this afternoon with temperatures in the mid-90s all up/down the I-5 corridor, ending up a bit hotter than forecast. There’s good news and bad news if you don’t like the hot...

Did you know we lose about 50 minutes of daylight in July? This happens after the Summer Solstice (June 20). So if you're not an early riser, you'll be happy to hear that the sunrise will be closer to 6:00am -- rather than 5:30am -- later this month!

Warm weekend ahead - But no "extreme" heat in the forecast. We're tracking some minor changes next week, but typical July conditions are here to stay through mid-month!
