More than 35 million Californians are under heat alerts on Tuesday as a tropical disturbance is expected to continue to bring rainfall to central Florida.<\/p>\n

Despite the majority of the West experiencing temperatures 5 to 15 degrees above average, southern and central California are in dangerous conditions.<\/p>\n

This is the first time in recorded history Los Angeles has had four consecutive days of temperatures above 100+ degrees in October.<\/p>\n

This heat wave will continue through the middle of this week and finally come to an end just as the weekend gets underway.<\/p>\n

Extreme heat warnings are in place across SoCal through Thursday.<\/p>\n

Temperatures will reach 90 to 100 degrees along the coasts of Southern California, from San Diego to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Valleys of Southern California could reach up to 106 degrees.<\/p>\n

Heat advisories are in place across central California through Thursday or Friday depending on the area.<\/p>\n

Temperatures could reach the low 100s from Bakersfield to Fresno to San Jose to Sacramento to Redding.<\/p>\n

With overnight lows also well above average, this nearly week-long heat wave is especially dangerous for those without access to air conditioning.<\/p>\n

Tropical disturbance in the Gulf Coast<\/h3>\n

Rain is expected to continue in central Florida, where a stalling frontal system is now draped.<\/p>\n

It will stay in place through at least Thursday and bring daily rain showers to the state, with up to 2 inches possible in some places each day.<\/p>\n

Tuesday through Thursday Florida could see 1 to 4 inches of widespread rain totals with some areas getting 4 to 8 inches over central Florida.<\/p>\n

The flood threat is low given Florida can handle rainfall quite well.<\/p>\n

On Friday, a potential tropical disturbance from the Gulf will move north toward the Florida Panhandle as the frontal boundary starts to retreat north as well.<\/p>\n

A tropical depression is expected to form in the next 48 hours. It’s looking like it will have enough strength to become a tropical storm and potentially a hurricane.<\/p>\n

Regardless of strength, this system could make landfall along the central Gulf Coast this weekend, most likely Saturday, but confidence is still low.<\/p>\n

This will bring yet more rain showers to the Gulf Coast Friday through Sunday.<\/p>\n

The central Gulf Coast, from New Orleans to Tallahassee, Florida, could receive 2 to 5 inches of rain Friday to Sunday.<\/p>\n

Depending on the system’s strength, the South in general could see 1 to 4 inches of rain from Friday to Sunday.<\/p>\n

This area can handle rain fairly well, so the flood threat is low, but it could flood urban areas with standing water at times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
