Capital Weather Gang says today is going to be a 1: “Sunshine in a hazy, somewhat milky-appearing sky may mix with a few scattered clouds periodically, but they can’t mitigate the upper 90s to low 100s. There will be times where the humidity really makes it feel oppressive (around 107F) and other times just plain hot.” Stay cool — “[w]ater, sunscreen, shade, ice, and air conditioning” — and if you’re going to the DMV inspection station, go early.
