An upper level ridge is expected to cause well above normal temperatures this week, mainly today, with the Valley seeing a 60 to 90% chance for highs of 95 degrees or higher. These temperatures will bring about a moderate risk of heat-related illnesses to those sensitive to heat, such as older adults (65+), infants, athletes, outdoor workers, those without effective cooling, and those with chronic diseases. There is some risk to the general population. A slight cooling trend can also be seen for the rest of this week, though temperatures are still expected to be above 90 degrees.
Moderate Heat Risk is expected for Today in the southern portion of the San Joaquin Valley with maximum temperatures above 95 degrees, and much of the Kern County Desert with maximum temperatures likely above 100 degrees. This level of heat can cause heat-related illnesses to those sensitive to heat, such as older adults, infants, athletes, outdoor workers, and those without effective cooling. Stay hydrated, wear lightweight, light-colored clothing, and reduce time spent outdoors or stay in the shade.
With heat in the upper 90s anticipated for this week, keep in mind that area lakes and rivers are still running cold. Warm air temperatures do NOT mean warm water temperatures! Rivers in particular are running swift as dam water releases are increasing across the region. Continue to take precautions around waterways!
