*It's hot!

It's not even 1 pm. and we're well into the 90s throughout much of the region (though not yet in the 100s in many Valley locations). That's well above today's forecast highs, but so far there haven't been any warnings from state power officials. Today's power grid shows there's plenty of available electricity to meet demand.

*3 p.m. update: Is it possible that Palm Springs is only 6 degrees warmer than downtown L.A.? (102 vs. 96)
