.DISCUSSION...
Weather remains pretty settled this 4th of July weekend.
Temperatures will begin to warm up as a ridge becomes the
dominant feature. For the 4th of July, expect temperatures to be
near normal and winds light, leading to a pleasant evening for
activities. By the middle of next week, however, temperatures
will begin to climb to above normal. This is due to flow
beginning to shift to a more northward direction. This will
settle a high pressure over the Four Corners Region and bring
heat.

While the above normal temperatures isn`t expected until the
middle of next week, the temperatures will begin to rise in
anticipation of the event. Today, there is only a 10%
Probability of Exceedance (PoE) of reaching 97 for Fresno,
Madera, Merced, and Kings Counties. Further South, there is a
10% PoE of reaching 100 in Bakersfield. The Mojave Deserts will
see a PoE of 10% of 102 today. By Tuesday, the PoE of reaching
100 degrees in the Southern Portions of the San Joaquin Valley
creeps up to 17%, while the Mojave Desert is at 100%. Wednesday
has PoE of reaching 100 degrees at 18% in Southern San Joaquin
Valley to 10% in the Northern portion. Thursday and Friday have
PoE of reaching 100 degrees between 50-90%, with the lower
chances being in the North Valley and higher in the South.

There remains little to no chances of rain within the Valley
during this time period. The Sierra Nevada, however, will have a
slight chance for afternoon thunderstorms at the highest peaks.
Today, there is a 10% chance of thunderstorms at Tioga Pass, but
that percentage steadily decreases as the elevation does.

The latest CPC outlook continues to favor above average
temperatures for both the 6-10 day and 8-14 day periods. They`re
also favoring a slight (33-40% chance) of below normal
precipitation, particularly along the Sierra Nevada Crest in the
6-10 day outlook. The CPC is also highlighting a Slight Risk
(20-40%)for Hazardous temps from the 11th through the 17th,
with the 12th through the 15th being a Moderate Risk (40-60%).

As temperatures begin to rise and people seek out ways to cool
off, please remember that running streams, rivers and lakes will
be colder than the air temperature. Follow all posted signage
and law enforcement advice regarding waterways. Exercise cold
water safety, as even the most experienced swimmers can lose
dexterity in cold water.
