Dangerous Heat will continue in the San Joaquin Valley, west side hills, lower Sierra Nevada foothills, Lake Isabella, and the Kern River Valley until at least Monday. Widespread triple digit heat will persist in these areas with overnight lows in the 70s at the hottest locations.
An Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect for the Indian Wells Valley, the Mojave Desert and Mojave Desert Slopes in eastern Kern County from 11 through 11 PM Monday. Afternoon highs up to 112 degrees are expected, and morning lows in the mid 70s to lower 80s will provide little relief. Stay hydrated, use air conditioning and remain in cool places during the day, and avoid outdoor activities during the warmest parts of the day.
A Moderate Risk for Elevated Fire Danger will exist across much of Central California through Monday with the combination of seasonably dry vegetation and very low humidities. Most areas will see winds less than 15 mph, but a few locations will see gusts from 15-25 mph.
