We have extended the Lake Wind Advisory for the San Luis Reservoir and along Highway 152 through 11 PM Thursday (Jul 9). We have also issued a Lake Wind Advisory for Lake Isabella and the Kern River Valley from 5 PM this afternoon until 11 PM Thursday. Sustained winds of 15 to 20 mph and gusts up to 35 mph are expected at San Luis Reservoir. Sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph and gusts up to 40 mph are expected at Lake Isabella. Gusts this high are capable of producing whitecap waves dangerous to small watercraft and are dangerous to drivers, particularly those in high-profile vehicles. Exercise caution if recreating at San Luis Reservoir and Lake Isabella or driving in the area.
High pressure over California will continue to warm temperatures through this week. The hottest days of the week (Friday & Saturday) will experience region-wide triple digit heat as well as the first 110 degree days in lower elevations of the Mojave Desert. Reduce time outside and take steps to reduce risk of heat illness if outdoors!
