Sunday, June 7, 2026 @ 11:00 AM PDT: Wind Advisory in effect for the Mojave Desert slopes in eastern Kern County from this afternoon until early Tuesday morning. West winds 25-35 mph with gusts 45 to 55 mph expected. Highways impacted include, but are not limited to, State Routes 14, 58, and 178, as well as U.S. 395. Travel will be difficult, especially for those operating high profile vehicles.

Seasonally average weather warms up in the late part of the week. Medium probability (50-60%) for triple-digit highs for the San Joaquin Valley. This level of heat has a moderate risk for heat-related illnesses for those sensitive to heat, such as older adults (65+), infants, athletes, outdoor workers, those without effective cooling, and those with chronic diseases.

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.
