Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 4:00 PM PDT on May 17, 2008


... Near record breaking heat will continue Sunday...

Strong high pressure aloft will continue to bring near record high
temperatures to many areas again on Sunday. Highs will be near 100
degrees in the valleys and foothills... and near 110 in the lower
deserts. The coolest weather will be in the mountains above 6000
feet and along the immediate coast where highs will be in the mid
70s to mid 80s.

People planning outdoor activities should take into consideration
the very high temperatures and adjust activities accordingly. Avoid
physical exertion during the hottest part of the day. Wear loose
fitting light weight clothing and drink plenty of water. Take
advantage of shade and air conditioning if available. Never leave
people or pets in enclosed automobiles. The hot... dry weather will
also increase the fire weather hazard.

While it will not be quite as hot on Monday... the inland valleys
will still be in the 90s. More cooling is expected through mid week
as the high aloft is replaced by low pressure and onshore flow
increases.
