Happy Thursday, Kern County. Today is the final day of the excessive heat warning we've been under for the past few days. We still have about 48 hours of hot weather before a marginal cool down this weekend.
For Thursday, we maintain high fire danger with persistent hot, dry conditions. Our air quality here in the Valley is unhealthy for sensitive groups.
As the Kern River Valley deals with a fire that ignited on Wednesday, their air quality will likely be impacted from the smoke. With poor air quality and hot temperatures, try to limit time outdoors, especially if you have any respiratory vulnerabilities.
We've had little change in our high temperatures in the past 24 hours, but by the weekend, we're expected to return closer to seasonal average. Thursday's high temperatures are listed below.
