A warming trend is expected to begin this afternoon and will peak into early next week. Much of the Central Valley will experience Moderate Heat Risk impacts as temperatures warm into the triple-digits. Take precautions by reducing time spent outdoors and stay hydrated!
The warming trend early next week will bring a high chance (90 percent) for Moderate Heat Risk (level 3 of 5) to the San Joaquin Valley. Additionally, there is upwards of a 60 percent chance for Major Heat Risk (level 4 of 5) in Fresno on Tuesday. This level of heat can result in a major risk of heat-related illnesses for much of the population - especially those without effective cooling or hydration.
With warmer temperatures expected for this weekend and early next week, remember to be safe around area rivers, streams, and lakes. Warm air temperatures do NOT mean warm water temperatures! Some areas of central California can have a difference of 40 to 50 degrees between the two. It only takes 10 to 15 minutes to lose dexterity in 50 to 60 degree water temperatures.
