The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale.
Forecast in detail
Today (Monday): Partly sunny skies early become mostly sunny for a good part of the day. As the sun beats down, it's hot and also rather humid (dew points in the low 70s). Highs range from 90 to 95 but it feels like 100 or so. Light winds are from the north at around 5 to 10 mph. Confidence: High
Tonight: A mostly clear and muggy late July night. Lows range from near 70 in our cooler spots to the mid-to upper 70s downtown. Calm winds. Confidence: High
Tomorrow (Tuesday): Sunny and very hot. Highs range from 93 to 98 but feel like 100 to 105 with the humidity (dew points in the low 70s). There's little breeze to take an edge off the heat. Confidence: High
Tomorrow night: Mostly clear to partly cloudy and warm. Lows range from the low 70s in our cooler areas to the upper 70s downtown. Very light breezes are from the south. Confidence: High
A look ahead
Wednesday is a lot like Monday and Tuesday: mostly sunny, hot and sticky. Highs reach the mid- to upper 90s but feel like 100 to 105. Toward the evening and overnight, a few storms could pop up, especially in our western areas. Lows are in the 70s. Confidence: Medium-High
Thursday marks the transition between the hot, humid weather pattern of the week's first half and the cooler, drier pattern on the way. The cool front sweeping through sets off showers and storms, some of which could be heavy. Highs should still climb to 90 or so before clouds and storms move in. Showers and storms should gradually move off overnight, with lows in the mid-60s to near 70. Confidence: Medium
The weather from Friday through the weekend looks fantastic. Humidity levels and temperatures drop and sunshine emerges. Clouds and humidity could linger during the first half of Friday before the sunny, dry weather takes over. Highs on Friday are in the upper 70s and low 80s. Sunshine should dominate both weekend days with highs again in the upper 70s and low 80s. At night, lows dip into the 60s although there could be some upper 50s in our cooler areas. Confidence: Medium-High

If Trump really wants to improve economic data, here are better ways
When the weather forecast calls for rain, you might decide to grab an umbrella. What you would not do is break the TV and fire the meteorologist — just because you don't like rain. But that is akin to what President Donald Trump did on Friday when he fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics a few hours after she released a disappointing jobs report and published revisions to earlier reports that had made the labor market look stronger than it was during the spring.

Grand Canyon Wildfire Spreads to More Than 126,000 Acres
The nation's largest wildfire has spread to more than 126,000 acres in Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, prompting nearby communities to declare transportation, supply and smoke emergencies. The Dragon Bravo fire has been burning for more than a month, fueled by record-low humidity that has hampered containment efforts. The mayor of Fredonia, Ariz., declared that his town of about 1,300 people just north of the park was facing a 'significant and ongoing wildfire emergency' because of the fire. Businesses were struggling with supply chain interruptions, ranchers have been displaced and the tourism economy, dependent on more than one million annual visitors, is expected to suffer, according to the emergency declaration, which was issued on Monday. The declaration called for better forest management of the Kaibab National Forest, reviving a criticism of the response to the Grand Canyon wildfire after Gov. Katie Hobbs of Arizona called for an investigation last month into why the federal government had decided to manage it as a 'controlled burn.' The local economies around Fredonia, Arizona's northernmost town, and the Kanab area in southern Utah across the state line rely on visitors to the national park and have been affected by the closures along the Grand Canyon's North Rim.

Second earthquake rattles New York City in four days as tremor recorded in New Jersey
A second earthquake has hit the New York and New Jersey area in a matter of days. The magnitude 2.7 tremor was reported to have occurred in New Jersey Tuesday afternoon, leading to warnings being issued in the Big Apple. 'Tremors may have been felt in parts of New York City,' NYC Emergency Management wrote on X, adding that it was monitoring for impacts and coordinating with agency partners. The center of the quake struck more than 7 miles below the ground in Hillsdale, New Jersey, just after noon, according to the United States Geological Survey. It comes just four days after residents in both states were shaken by another minor earthquake late Saturday night. According to USGS, that tremor was recorded at magnitude 3.0 and struck at 10:18 p.m., with its epicenter in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, just north of Newark. The quake took place six miles below the ground, and around 13 miles from Midtown Manhattan. As well as New Jersey, tremors were reported across all five boroughs of the city, USGS said. USGS advises, in the case of earthquakes, that people be prepared for possible aftershocks, which can occur minutes, hours, or even days after the initial quake. 'No immediate protective action is needed unless you experienced damage. If you felt shaking, check for hazards such as shifted items, falling debris, or cracks,' the agency states. The east coast scares follow much more serious incidents on the other side of the U.S. Officials in Hawaii reassured residents Sunday that there was no danger of a tsunami hitting the state, after a powerful earthquake struck Russia's Kuril Islands. The USGS put that quake at magnitude 7 while the German Research Center for Geosciences measured the quake at 6.7 magnitude, initially reporting 6.35, with a depth of 6.2 miles. It followed a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake in the same region just days previously, triggering tsunami alerts as far away as Japan, Indonesia, Australia, the United States, and Chile.
