Dangerous fire weather continues as another heat wave kicks off across California

LA Times  

Dangerous fire weather is expected across much of California on Friday, as temperatures across the state are expected to continue rising over the next few days marking August’s first heat wave. The red flag warning is an ominous sign for what experts say could be an even more active fire month than the last, with the National Interagency Fire Center issuing an outlook that much of Northern and Central California have an above average chance to experience significant wildfire in August. Weather officials are warning of another “prolonged heat wave,” particularly in interior Southern California, where temperatures could reach up to 110 by Monday. “Temperatures will slowly warm each day, potentially leading to dangerous and significant heat risks across the interior by Sunday or Monday and continue through most of next week,” the National Weather Service office in Oxnard wrote in Friday’s forecast discussion.
