Temperatures will be heating up across the interior this coming week... High pressure will build over the region Sunday through Tuesday and remain in place through at least Thursday of next week. On Sunday as high pressure begins to build over the interior of northern California... temperatures in the Central Valley will warm into the mid 90s to around 103 degrees. Warming is expected to continue Monday and Tuesday with temperatures ranging from the upper 90s to around 110 for the hottest locations. The heat is expected to last for most of next week with nighttime temperatures cooling off into the 60s to mid 70s in the Central Valley and foothills. Mountain locations will warm up into the 80s to around 100 degrees with nighttime temperatures cooling off into the 50s to lower 70s. In addition to the heat... the airmass over the region is expected to once again become progressively more stagnant next week. Smoke from the wildfires burning across the region will be trapped below a strong temperature inversion associated with the strong high pressure and may filter into the Central Valley. Stay indoors as much as possible during the peak heating of the day. If you have to work or plan on any recreational activities outdoors... drink plenty of water ... wear light colored clothing and take frequent breaks from the sun. Heat can affect anyone. However... children... the elderly... people with medical conditions and those engaged in strenuous outdoor activities will be the ones most impacted by the hot weather. Should smoke accumulate in the Central Valley... people are advised to limit outdoor activities and prolonged exposure to the smoky air... especially those with respiratory conditions... older adults... and Young children. People with health conditions that could be aggravated by the smoke and are concerned about their exposure should be thinking now about how they may avoid the smoke next week.
