Staffer Arrested In Capitol Riot + Eateries To Try + Masks Urged

Rise and shine, Los Angeles! Here's everything you need to know to get this Tuesday started off right.

The Clippers pulled off a big 116-102 win over the Suns to stay alive for game six, and the Dodgers beat the Giants Monday to kick off the series of rivals. The heat is back, but it's nothing like the last heatwave. Temperatures in the Downtown area are expected to linger in the mid to low 80s all week. Lastly, Los Angeles County health officials are asking everyone to wear masks indoors in public spaces. The break with the state, CDC and even the county's own recent recommendations stems from the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant of COVID-19.

First, today's weather: Mostly cloudy throughout the day. High: 84 Low: 62.
