Yellow Weather Warning

Yellow weather notification for a hot and dry spell next week (August 13 to 18, 2023). The most likely regions for Heat Warnings are the South Coast and Southwestern Interior. Temperatures are expected to marginally reach criteria; this event will not be like June 2021. The hot and dry weather will increase risk of heat related illness and continue the wildfire danger. Also, the stagnant high-pressure ridge will likely worsen air quality due to wildfire smoke and other pollutants.
