Temperatures are set to jump significantly Friday and Saturday.
Triple digit highs are likely in the Valley, desert, and even the Kern River Valley.
Mountain areas will be near 90°.
In Bakersfield, the forecast highs for Saturday and Sunday are 103° and 105°.
The hottest day so far this year is 102°, so we'll likely beat that.
Triple digits are possible on Sunday, too, but not quite as likely.
Sunday's forecast is 99°, but if we hit 100° three days in a row it will mark our first heatwave of the year.
In addition to the heat, we're also tracking a minor chance for showers and storms Saturday and Sunday.
A cut off low pressure system off the coast will help pull moisture from Tropical Storm Alvin into southern California.
While rain chances are better south of Kern, a few showers or storms can't be ruled out for the weekend, so we'll be watching the radar!
