Kern County once again finds itself beyond the monsoonal margin as moist southerly flow out of Baja, Mexico becomes dry southwesterly once it gets to our latitude. However, subtle pockets of energy rotating around that high may send the moisture and associated instability further northwestward over the coming days. As a result isolated to scattered thunderstorm activity will start becoming possible again for portions of Southern California. The Storm Prediction Center has part of the Southland within the thunder boomer boundary on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"KBAK\/KBFX\" class=\"ImageEmbed_image__qZBo_\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"365\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/16c89339-5aec-4438-bb55-e4f762f755c6-ConvectiveOutlook.png\" width=\"648\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Please remember to practice heat safety as we enter what very well could be Heat Wave #5 territory for the South Valley!<\/p>\n<p>Chief Meteorologist Ilya Neyman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BAKERSFIELD, Calif.
