The crescendo of heat continues steadily towards the weekend, with Thursday forecasted to be sunny and hot, boasting a high near an arid 99 degrees, spurred on mildly by a south-southwest wind traveling at 5 to 10 mph.

And as if in defiance of any pleas for cooler climes, the weekend forecast doubles down on the solar presence, ensuring that Friday and Saturday are swathed in unrelenting sunshine. Both days are set to witness highs scorching near the century mark at 99 degrees and 97 degrees, respectively, with the twilight hours offering scant cooling to an anticipated low of 78 degrees. Whether one whispers prayers for rain or chants odes to air conditioners, the heat, it seems, will be unwavering in its stay.
