Heat that the National Weather Service (click here) is calling "dangerous" and "life-threatening" is on track to impact nearly all of California over the three-day Labor Day weekend.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, peak temperatures are expected Sunday and Monday when the hottest interior locations could exceed 110 degrees.
The National Weather Service issued an Excessive Heat Warning for interior locations, 11 a.m. Saturday to 9 p.m. Monday, and a Heat Advisory for coastal areas during the same time frame....
Bakersfield, California is south-central to the state. July is usually the highest temperature in Bakersfield with highs reaching 98 F. This year August and September are setting records. The area is receiving temperatures as high as 117 F. This is more than dangerous, it could be a tipping point.
The question is more what will next year bring? A lot will be determined whether or not there is water vapor and moisture returning to the region.
