This is a forecast for the Heat Risk for next Thursday and Friday showing Heat Risk in the High to Extreme category for much of our area. Extreme Risk of heat-related illnesses for the entire population due to a dangerous combination of hot afternoon highs and warm overnight lows.

Temperatures are expected to reach dangerous levels across the San Joaquin Valley, West Side Hills, Sierra Foothills, Kern River Valley and Kern County Deserts by the middle of next week. Please keep in mind to stay hydrated and cool.

Total smoke forecast for 400 pm PDT Friday, June 28 as a result of smoke from the Basin Fire and the Fresno June Lightning Complex.

Warm air temperatures do not mean warm water temperatures. Cold water can very quickly remove heat from the body and lead to a loss of movement in the limbs. When heading into rivers and streams, always take precautions such as wearing a life vest, bringing a life preserver with you, and following all river/stream closures.
