Historical Data & Charts

... Well above normal temperatures expected through Saturday
across the central California interior...

Strong high pressure will continue across central California
through Saturday. High temperatures will be some 10 degrees above
normal... which is just a few degrees below record levels. Max
readings of 102 to 110 degrees are predicted through Saturday in
the central and southern San Joaquin Valley and the Kern County
desert. Highs of 100 to 105 are likely in the foothills of the
southern Sierra Nevada including Yosemite Valley... Oakhurst... Kings
Canyon... and Lake Isabella.

In addition nighttime temperatures will recover to only a few
degrees below 80 in the urban areas of Fresno and Bakersfield
Thursday and Friday nights. A slow cooling trend is then expected
for the remainder of the Holiday weekend.

During periods of above normal heat... it is a good idea to check
on your elderly family and neighbors. People most sensitive to
the heat include children... elderly... and people with chronic
illness. Listen to NOAA Weather Radio... or your favorite news
source... for updates on this situation.
