Special Weather Statement Statement as of 1:01 PM PDT on May 17, 2008

... Hot weather to bring potential hazards into early next week...

Strong high pressure will remain over California through Monday
with temperatures averaging well above normal. High temperatures
in the San Joaquin Valley... lower foothills of the southern Sierra
Nevada... and the deserts of Kern County will be in the 100 to 105
degree range during this time. Heat indicies will be similar to the
air temperature or only a couple of degrees lower. This may
aggravate some health conditions... especially for children... the
elderly or other sensitive groups.

Here are some tips to help you Cope with the heat.

Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. When possible... stay in the
shade or an air conditioned room. Wear loose fitting... light
colored clothes. Drink plenty of non alcoholic fluids.

Never leave children or pets in a vehicle... even for short periods
of time. Temperatures inside vehicles can climb rapidly to life
threatening levels... even with windows partially open.

Periodically check on children and the elderly. Also... remember
that animals will be affected by the heat. Make sure that pets
and farm animals have plenty of water and access to shade.

If you are planning to travel into the southern Sierra Nevada for
relief from the heat... remember that the increased flow in mountain
rivers... streams and creeks has its own hazards. Even though a
stream or river looks cool and inviting... the water is actually
very cold and may be dangerously fast. Outdoor enthusiasts are
advised to use extreme caution near streams and rivers. If you are
planning on camping... remember that the highest water levels occur
at night... usually within an hour or two either side of midnight. A
campground may look dry and safe in the late afternoon... but can
take on water at night.

If you are rafting or boating on rivers or streams... always wear
life jackets or vests... and keep other flotation gear handy. Be
alert for the dangers of hypothermia if you or others fall into the
water... get to safety as quickly as possible.
