A mega-ridge of high pressure is baking the Southwest in record heat. The climax of this unbearable weather will arrive Tuesday – just in time for Game 1 of the World Series in downtown Los Angeles, which will boast triple-digit temperatures.
After a 101-degree high temperature around 3 or 4 p.m., Tuesday, the forecast for first pitch at Dodger Stadium is approximately 96 degrees, under crystal-clear skies and a baking Southern California sun. Humidity will be all but nonexistent, which means players (and fans) will be at higher risk for dehydration.
First pitch is scheduled for 5:09 p.
