Southern California Weather Force has officially extended your high heat warnings till Friday evening, and then the focus is the weekend as Hurricane Genevieve positions for an upswing of shower/thunderstorm activity yet again over the weekend so read on for details.
This morning at around 8am I issued the Severe Thunderstorm and Thunderstorm Watch alerts over the member micro-climate e-mail alert system and the micro-climate Facebook groups which you can find in links below. Storms have already formed in the JTNP, Big Bear, Wrightwood, and Anza areas as I type this and the watches look on track to send outflow up through the High Desert as far as Ridgecrest and Las Vegas. You can view the links below to them.

As for the rest of the week, I’ve extended the high heat warnings through Friday evening. After that we should get rid of the high heat 100s in the inland areas, but it will still be hot. We will then add humidity to that and you will have pretty much an uncomfortable weekend as Hurricane Genevieve nears the region. The moisture from Genevieve will stream northward and give the entire forecast area a chance at showers or thunderstorms, including the coast/valley areas. Since it has mid-level instability in the metros overnight on Saturday, storm chances will go into the night hours as well for metro areas. These will be dry-lightning producers with little rain so fire risk is elevated.
As for the extended towards the end of my month, my birthday, still seeing above average temperatures returning with the tropics also getting more active.
