Vicious heat wave now in Texas but this week, California will get in on the action. Below is from the NWS Sacramento
[Weather.gov] An upper ridge will move over California starting early on Thursday, and become the predominant pattern late that night/early Friday morning, bringing in warm and dry air. This will cause higher temperatures across the region, along with widespread Moderate Heat Risk during the extended forecast period. Temperatures will likely reach 100 degrees over the weekend in many places within the Sacramento Valley. Additionally, some areas in the northern Sacramento Valley may actually pass the century mark.
Luckily for CA, there will be an above average amount of hydropower from the winter precip and wind will not go stagnant either so they will likely survive this one.
| In the old days they called this kind of thing “summer”. |
