BAKERSFIELD, Calif (KERO) — Happy Tuesday Kern County.
Above average temperatures continue today, then rapidly warm up to around 15 degrees above normal by Wednesday.
This is a dangerous, prolonged heat wave that will last several days with an Extreme Heat Risk.
An Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect from today through Monday, July 8th, and may need to be extended further as the week progresses.

A long period of excessive heat, minimum relative humidities near 15% and poor overnight relative humidity recovery will add to the grass fire risk.
