97 on Friday and 102 on Saturday as of now in Mt. Shasta

Right now as of 3pm Thursday the heat is still bearable  because it is only 87 degrees Fahrenheit especially if you are in the shade. I'm presently looking up at MT. Shasta from our hotel room terrace higher up.  However, like I said in the title it will be 97 tomorrow and 102 on Saturday (as of now in the predictions) and 103 on Sunday so likely we will leave before then to miss the heat as I'm presently  75 years old and the heat and altitude combintation is a bit much for me at this age because I normally live at Sea Level nearer to San Francisco on the beach. I walk my dog almost every day along the beach there. 

However, my favorite beach didn't come fully back yet because the atmospheric River Storms were so fierce. It has washed any dirt and ice plant away on my beach trails about 10 to 20 feet further nearer the roads with only the sandstone left in many places and it threw up 50 to 100 pound rocks over 100 feet onto the roads along the beach so people had to remove them one way or another and trees crashed through wooden fences next to the roads along the beaches too. There is one video of an ocean wave burying three golf carts on a golf course too along the Greater San Francisco ocean area last winter.

It also has been overcast pretty much continually from May 1st and is still overcast even today with temperatures only 65 degrees even today but I think the temperatures will rise up to 67 degrees by Saturday and Sunday because of the inland heat wave all over the state.

So, if you are traveling over California, Oregon, Nevada or Arizona this weekend watch out for Heat prostration if you live somewhere else where you haven't experienced this intense dry heat.

For example, it will be 128 degrees on this Sunday in Death Valley and 119 degrees in Palm Springs this Sunday.

Just remember if you are not properly prepared for weather like this you could easily die in it.

I have been in temperatures up to 125 degrees in Palm Springs but it is sort of like going into an oven when you get out of your car or truck. Even then I usually spend only 5 to 10 minutes out in it since I"m presently 75 years old and have to be careful of passing out in too much heat.

So, stay alive. If you stay out to long in this much heat the first thing you lose is your mental faculties, after that you get sick and if you are not rescued in time you die.
