Level 5 Inland Southern California Heatwave For Weekend of July 15th with Strong Monsoon Ridge

Southern California Weather Force has issued a Special Weather Statement for the inland zones of Southern California effective the weekend of July 15th, 2023.

A ridge of high pressure will near Southern California, which is nominal for this time of year.  This monsoon induced ridge will be strong enough for temperatures to reach near 120F for Bakersfield and Imperial Valley.  Areas inland like Santa Clarita and the Inland Empire will be 105F.

While not unusual for this time of year, it will mark the start of the Southwestern United States Monsoon.  Over time, this ridge will pump in moisture out of the south and east and we will start seeing monsoon effects, even into the metros this season.  I’m still pressing for an average to above normal monsoon season for Arizona, and the same will be for Southern California.

He has certs from Mississippi State for broadcast met and Penn State forecasting certs MET 101, 241, 341 and 361 as a meteorologist, but before then was completely self-taught, barely learning a thing from the schools that he did not already know.

Both short and long-range is very important to know in those jobs so you can bet on accuracy here. He is versed in fields like Western USA, Tornadoes, Floods, Hurricanes, High Winds, Fire Behavior, Snow and Blizzards, Short Range, Long Range, Seasonal, and Life-Threatening decisions with over 25 years' experience, out forecasting all weather services available today with lead-time and precision, which makes him a focus of ridicule and envy.

NOTE: Alerts are posted on here, be it a tornado watch, etc, and these alerts are issued from this office and nowhere else. At times, which is often, you will see an alert forecast posted on here that you do not see elsewhere.
