You knew a stand alone thread regarding ..what is likely to be an unprecedented spring heatwave event here in the western /southwestern U.S. ...   was coming...   In some cases, it is already kicking off in parts of the west as we speak..  86F currently ( 11:51AM ) here in the neighborhood w/ numerous, low 90s already in many neighborhoods nearby.  Seeing numerous areas at /above 86F across S.Cal right now as well  ..and a few spots up around the Bay Area already breaching the 80's mark.
