Long-range weather models are showing temperatures in the upper 90's for a series of days. In fact, the CPC, Climate Prediction Center, is forecasting above-average temperatures for the Central Valley for the next 8-14 days.
That being said, limit your time outside during the heat of the day and stay hydrated. These may not be triple-digits, but temperatures this hot for a number of consecutive days can be just as dangerous.
Here are a few tips when it comes to beating the heat.
- Wear Sunscreen - Sunglasses & A Hat
- Drink Water - Avoid Alcohol
- Light Clothing - Cool Off When Possible

The break from the heat is over. A big change in our weather pattern will result in a prolonged stretch of above-average high temperatures.
This is a typical heat wave pattern. A ridge of high pressure over the Rockies and another one off the coast. This will keep the Delta Breeze from delivering the cooling Pacific air and quickly warm the air close to the surface.
This heat event won't bring the extreme numbers like last week, but the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys will see afternoon highs close to 100 degrees for almost ten days.

Average high for the valley this time of year is in the low 90s. The upcoming weather pattern will give us highs about 5-10 degrees above average.
