The wider storm
A strong ridge of high pressure aloft centered over southern Nevada August 3 and 4 provided for a period of excessive heat over the Kern County Deserts prompting an Excessive Heat Warning for both days. In addition, much of the San Joaquin Valley was impacted by significant heat on August 4. Temperatures cooled to below dangerous levels on August 5 as a low pressure system pushed through northern California and weakened the ridge.
