Tuesday was cooler than expected, reaching only 99° in Bakersfield.
Sadly, that trend did not continue.
Temperatures on Wednesday were actually warmer than expected, with Bakersfield reaching 106°.
Highs will stay right around 100° for the rest of the work week, before dropping a few degrees this weekend and into next week.
Desert areas remain very hot, with highs near 110° through the weekend.
Fortunately it looks like desert areas will drop off by next week, and mountain towns will fall all the back into the mid 80s!
