Bakersfield's heatwave stretched to 4 days Tuesday.
With highs around 100° in the forecast for both Wednesday and Thursday, it could very well extend to 6 days.
It will not, however, extend into the 4th of July.
The 4th looks several degrees cooler than the past few days have been, with a forecast high of 95°.
That's not amazingly cool for this time of year, but it looks pretty good compared to last year's Independence Day, when Bakersfield hit 109°!
That was part of a brutally hot July that featured 24 days in the triple digits, 17 days at or above 105°, and 4 days over 110°!
