Discussion: A ridge of high pressure has developed over the Southern California area. We have seen brutal temperatures over the last couple of days. Today marks the peak of the highest temperatures for this heatwave. As you can see in the heat risk assessment models, the Inland areas have the highest risk. Level 4 risk is rarely seen in the metros. These are seen in the low desert, including the Coachella Valley and off to Phoenix as well. The metros are even higher in risk than the High Desert zones.
This heatwave will continue through the weekend and start to wan down mid-end next week where much more normal temperatures will happen.
For now, use the maps here for the official heat alert number for your area. The coast will not be in this, as usually what happens during the summer so enjoy the days at the beach and do not get eaten by sharks.
5. Heat Stroke Possible After 15-20 minutes of exposure with no water.
1. Very little discomfort, however, long periods of exposure could bring heat exhaustion.

Master General Meteorologist – is a consulting meteorologist for over 50 companies, including energy, agriculture, aviation, marine, leisure, and many more areas. He has certs from Mississippi State for broadcast met and Penn State forecasting certs MET 101, 241, 341 and 361 as a meteorologist, but before then was completely self-taught, barely learning a thing from the schools that he did not already know.
Both short and long-range is very important to know in those jobs so you can bet on accuracy here. He is versed in fields like Western USA, Tornadoes, Floods, Hurricanes, High Winds, Fire Behavior, Snow and Blizzards, Short Range, Long Range, Seasonal, and Life-Threatening decisions with over 25 years’ experience, out forecasting all weather services available today with lead-time and precision, which makes him a focus of ridicule and envy.
NOTE: Alerts are posted on here, be it a tornado watch, etc, and these alerts are issued from this office and nowhere else. At times, which is often, you will see an alert forecast posted on here that you do not see elsewhere.
