Bakersfield was definitely warm Thursday, with a high of 98°, but it's nowhere near the heat the Eastern half of the country is dealing with.
Once again heat indices for places like St. Louis, Chicago, and Cincinnati were over 110°.
Here in Kern, our only concern is some poor air quality.
The air quality in Bakersfield reaches levels that were unhealthy for sensitive groups Thursday, and are forecast to reach unhealthy levels Friday.
Fortunately temperatures will fall a bit, back into the mid 90s
