NWS Hanford: Conditions remain warmer than normal across central California but we are not experiencing the widespread excessive heat from earlier this week. A trough of low pressure along the coast has helped to lessen impacts for our area from the high pressure ridge centered near the Four Corners region. Model solutions keep our area on the edge of the high pressure ridge through early next week while a weak cyclonic circulation meanders near the California coast. Dry and warmer than normal conditions will continue in this pattern with temperatures running around 2-6 degrees above normal. This will mean a continuation of widespread triple digit highs in the San Joaquin Valley. Although not as extreme as our recent temperatures, these conditions can still pose a moderate risk of heat related illness for sensitive groups. There is little change in temperature forecasts from Tuesday through the end of next week, as we remain under the influence of the nearby ridge
