From the National Weather Service office in Sacramento:
TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES CONTINUE IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY AND
SOME FOOTHILL LOCATIONS...
TEMPERATURES SOARED TO 100 TO 110 DEGREES TODAY IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY. THERE WILL BE CONTINUED WARMING ON FRIDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE REGION STRENGTHENS AND COOLING FROM THE BAY AREA
REMAINS VERY WEAK AT NIGHT. THE WARMEST DAYS THROUGH THIS HEAT
WAVE WILL BE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH TEMPERATURES RANGING BETWEEN
100 AND 110 DEGREES.
NIGHTTIME TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WARM AND GENERALLY IN THE MID
60S TO MID 70S FOR MOST LOCATIONS IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY AND
FOOTHILLS...WITH SOME OF THE WARMER FOOTHILL LOCATIONS ONLY
COOLING OFF AT NIGHT INTO THE UPPER 70S.
ON SUNDAY A LOW PRESSURE AREA OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL HELP
TO DROP TEMPERATURES A LITTLE...HOWEVER MOST LOCATIONS ARE STILL
EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE 100 DEGREES IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY. THE
FOUR DAYS OF HEAT WILL BE BROKEN BY MONDAY AS THE LOW DEEPENS
ENOUGH OVER THE WEST COAST TO BRING COOLER AIR TO THE REGION.
TO HELP AVOID ANY HEAT DISORDERS...PERSONS SHOULD LIMIT THEIR
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WEAR LIGHT COLORED
CLOTHING...USE SUNBLOCK AND DRINK PLENTY OF NON-ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS.
ALSO REMEMBER TO NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN AND PETS IN AN
AUTOMOBILE...EVEN FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME AND CHECK ON THE
ELDERLY.
