| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Temperatures slowly warmed through May 6th, then the central and southern San Joaquin Valley cooled a few degrees on the 7th as a push of marine air filled the Valley. This pool of marine air rapidly mixed out, and Fresno had a high of 90 degrees on May 9th. Temperatures then leveled off for a couple of days, before the next low-pressure system brought cooling to interior central California on the 12th. This low-pressure trough also brought strong winds to the Kern County desert, with gusts to 47 mph at Edwards AFB during the afternoon of May 12th, and gusts as high as 73 mph at Mojave that evening.||Weak high pressure over the state brought another slow warming trend to the region. Fresno again reached 90 on May 15th, but Bakersfield still had not reached 90 by that point. Things changed abruptly the next day, as the ridge strengthened over the state and temperatures jumped as much as 10 degrees. Bakersfield went from a high of 88 on May 15th to 99 the next day, and topped out at a record-setting 105 degrees on May 17th. Fresno was even warmer, reaching 106, as did Naval Air Station, Lemoore. Castle Airport in Merced County reached 108 degrees, and Coalinga sizzled at 110 degrees. |
