The National Weather Service is forecasting abnormally high temperatures in the Stockton and San Joaquin County area, with highs potentially reaching the low 90s by early next week. The unseasonably warm weather is due to a strong high-pressure ridge building over Northern California, which is expected to keep temperatures elevated through the middle of next week.
Why it matters
Unseasonably high temperatures in the spring can pose health risks, especially for vulnerable populations. The weather service is urging residents to take precautions like staying hydrated, seeking shade, and limiting time outdoors during the hottest parts of the day.
The details
According to the National Weather Service, the high-pressure ridge will flatten slightly over the weekend, bringing some northerly winds, before strengthening again and pushing temperatures higher. Highs are expected to reach the mid-80s on Sunday and potentially the low 90s by Tuesday, with the elevated temperatures continuing through Thursday.
- Temperatures are expected to start ramping up on Sunday, March 16.
- Highs could reach the low 90s by Tuesday, March 18, and continue through Thursday, March 20.
