A high of 102° on Tuesday extends Bakerfield's heatwave to five days.
It's not likely to extend any further.
Bakersfield is expected to drop to 97° on Wednesday, and stay there for Thursday.
Temperatures will inch back up toward 100° again by the weekend.
Besides the heat, we're also keeping an eye on a bit of moisture in the forecast.
It's far from a sure thing, but a surge of moisture on Friday could kick off an isolated thunderstorm or two or Friday.
We'll keep tracking the (small) rain chances!
