* WHAT…Temperatures of 90 to 110 degrees, hottest on Wednesday and
over interior areas.

* WHERE…Cuyama Valley, Eastern San Gabriel Mountains, Interstate 5
Corridor, Santa Barbara County Interior Mountains, and Western San
Gabriel Mountains and Highway 14 Corridor.

* WHEN…For the Heat Advisory, until 10 AM PDT Tuesday. For the
Extreme Heat Warning, from 10 AM Tuesday to 8 PM PDT Thursday.

* IMPACTS…There is a high risk for dangerous heat illness for
anyone, especially for the very young, the very old, those without
air conditioning, and those active outdoors.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Humid conditions will add to the heat to
potentially worsen heat impacts. Effects of the heat will build
through the week, with warm overnight low temperatures providing
little relief from the heat.
Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of
the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.

Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car
interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.

Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose
fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning
or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and
heat stroke.

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in
shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
emergency! Call 9 1 1.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, stay informed.

Monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for updates.

high tides of 7.0 to 7.6 feet will bring the potential for
minor coastal flooding in low-lying areas in the evening.
Remain out of the water due to hazardous swimming conditions, or
stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly
in such conditions, stay off the rocks.

Tormentas de desplazamiento lento podrían dejar el equivalente a las lluvias de todo un verano sobre partes de Texas esta semana, lo que supone una amenaza significativa de inundaciones repentinas para el estado.

Gran parte del este, centro y suroeste de Texas podría ver aguaceros lo suficientemente intensos como para desencadenar inundaciones repentinas hasta el jueves, pero el área con mayor riesgo está cerca de la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México en el Valle del Río Bravo y la meseta sur de Edwards. Austin, Houston y San Antonio están entre las ciudades más grandes que podrían ver al menos inundaciones repentinas localizadas, especialmente el lunes y el martes.

Es probable que haya chubascos y tormentas eléctricas por momentos desde el lunes hasta el jueves. Son posibles acumulados generalizados de 51-152 mm. Son posibles acumulados aislados de hasta 203 mm, principalmente sobre las Llanuras del Río Bravo y la meseta sur de Edwards.

La región de Hill Country también está en riesgo de lluvias con inundaciones, pero los acumulados más altos podrían quedarse justo al suroeste de la región. La amenaza llega poco más de un año después de las devastadoras inundaciones del 4 de julio que mataron a más de 130 personas allí, incluidas 25 niñas y dos consejeros adolescentes en Camp Mystic.

Se han emitido alertas de inundación para casi 6 millones de personas en el centro y suroeste de Texas, incluidos Austin, Del Rio, San Angelo y San Antonio.

El gobernador de Texas, Greg Abbott, activó la respuesta de emergencia del estado el domingo para poner a disposición recursos estatales, incluidos equipos de rescate acuático y helicópteros, para responder a cualquier inundación que surja.

“Se insta a los texanos a no conducir ni caminar por carreteras inundadas, ya que las aguas de inundación pueden ser más profundas y moverse más rápidamente de lo que parecen”, dijo un comunicado de la oficina del gobernador.

Los eventos de lluvias extremas como este se están volviendo más comunes a medida que la contaminación que calienta el planeta impulsa las temperaturas al alza, porque el aire más cálido retiene más humedad. Luego, los sistemas meteorológicos pueden exprimir esa humedad como una esponja empapada de agua, produciendo aguaceros intensos y a menudo muy localizados.

Alimentando esta amenaza de lluvias intensas hay abundante humedad del Golfo que está chocando con un frente estacionado y una bolsa de energía en la atmósfera superior. Es una receta notoria para generar grupos de tormentas de desplazamiento lento que pueden desatar tasas de lluvia de 51 a 102 mm por hora.

Sin embargo, precisar exactamente qué pueblos o ciudades podrían ver los peores impactos de inundación es menos seguro, ya que depende de dónde se activen las tormentas más persistentes de un día a otro.

Se espera que la amenaza más grave de lluvias intensas de la semana se dé en el suroeste de Texas desde cerca de la Interestatal 10 hasta el Río Bravo a lo largo de la frontera con México, incluida Del Rio, Texas.

El Centro de Predicción Meteorológica emitió un riesgo de inundación repentina de Nivel 3 de 4 hasta el miércoles. Se espera que la lluvia en esta área el lunes se intensifique a última hora de la tarde y continúe durante la noche.

Los totales de lluvia en esta área podrían alcanzar de 51 a 152 mm, con cantidades localmente más altas de hasta 254 mm posibles. El extremo superior de ese rango estaría cerca de lo que Del Rio suele ver de junio a agosto, cayendo en solo unos pocos días.

Hill Country podría ver de 25 a 76 mm de lluvia, con totales localmente más altos posibles. La región es propensa a inundaciones debido a pendientes pronunciadas, suelos poco profundos y lecho rocoso expuesto que repelen la lluvia intensa en lugar de permitir que se infiltre en el suelo.

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. (KEYT) Hot summer days and crowded beaches are nothing new but the muggy, tropical conditions are unusual.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Carol Ciliberti said the NWS is monitoring the conditions.

"We have extreme heat warnings and heat advisories in affect for much of Santa Barbara County this week Tuesday through Thursday, said Cilberti, "these are dangerous conditions so please take extra precautions remember to check on the elderly kids and pets."

The Office of Emergency Management recomments signing up for alerts at https://www.readysbc.org

"We send out an email notification county-wide just reminding people hey this is our first large heat event and we want to make sure everyone is aware and paying attention and taking precautions if they need to especially for those vulnerable populations," said Hubbard.

Parents at the beach in Carpinteria are heeding the advice and have tips of their own.

"Re-apply sunscreen a hat .if she will let me wear it. Or if she will wear it herself and then an umbrella because I have a little pool too keep her cool because the ocean is too cold," said Eleanor's mother Corriander Dagger.

 Since Homes without air conditioner are common and can become heat traps seek air condition places such as the library of a movie theatre.

One option is The large Arlington Theatre will be hosting another watchparty this time it is Spain and France World Cup Wemifinal Watch Party for free on Tuesday at noon.

Marilyn and John Carlander said although they don't have air conditioning their Hidden Valley home tends to stay cool but if it doesn't they joked that their grown children who air conditioning should check on them.

Umbrella and fans are good things to have on hand.

The heat should serve as reminder to staying hydrating with water and maybe a cool treat.

And pay attention to alerts incuding those regarding power.

There could also be a temporary public safety power shutoff or PSPS to prevent fire later in the week.

Your News Channel will have more on the extreme heat and how to beat it tonight on the news.
