California, Southern Sacramento Valley

Special Weather Statement

Statement as of 5:33 AM PDT on August 28, 2008

Expires 10:00 PM EDT on August 28, 2008


... Hot and dry weather over the interior of northern California...

Very hot daytime temperatures are expected today and Friday with
maximum temperatures in the Central Valley surpassing the century
mark. Maximum temperatures in the mountains will be mostly in the
80s and 90s with some areas surpassing the century mark. High
temperatures in the Interior Valley are forecast to top out in the
105 to 113 degree range in the Interior Valley today and
Friday... although most areas should experience their hottest
temperatures today. Some of the populated mountain areas may
experience temperatures from 98 to 106 today and Friday. These
temperatures may result in record or near record highs today and
Friday.

Although it will be very hot today and Friday... humidity levels
will be relatively low and heat indices will remain lower than the
ambient air temperatures.

Fortunately... the dry airmass over the area will allow overnight
temperatures to lower to relatively comfortable levels. Minimum
temperatures in the 60s and 70s are expected across much of the
region while many of the higher mountain valleys will cool into
the upper 40s and 50s. Lighter north winds over the northern
Sacramento tonight should allow overnight temperatures to
eventually cool a little more rapidly than they did Wednesday
night.

Relief from the heat is expected over the weekend as high pressure
weakens. Residents of northern California should monitor the
latest weather information concerning the hot weather.
