🔥 Riverside's holding steady in the low 100s this week — basically the same forecast on repeat, like your favorite summer playlist stuck on shuffle-of-one. A few clouds drift through midweek but don't expect any relief from them. Needless to say, we'll be feeling "hot hot hot" all week long.
Fair warning: we're not meteorologists! Our forecasts are pulled from public weather data as a little extra for our readers. For the most current conditions, your favorite weather app knows more than we do — but we'll always do our best to help you plan your weekend. ☀️

🏊 Larry's excited to crash a kid's pool party this weekend, then meander into a conversation about books over drinks at Back to the Grind.
