8-14 Day Temperature Outlook

Triple-digit heat looks to return to central California again later this week as a ridge of high pressure builds over the region. This heat will result in a Moderate Risk (level 2 of 4) for 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. Some risk to the general population.

The Fourth of July falls during the driest part of the year. Grasses and brush are fully cured, and low humidity dries them out even further. Under these conditions, a single spark can grow into a fast-moving fire within minutes. Wind is the multiplier. Gusts push flames into fresh fuel and carry embers ahead of the fire, starting new spot fires downwind. 🎆 Fireworks rules vary by city, county, and agency, and many areas ban them entirely. Check with your local fire department or county authorities. 🔗 weather.gov/hanford
