Warm, but that's actually average for this time of year. Today we're going to get back to what the month of July has really given us for the better part of a year. The temperatures this time of year are already warmer than we should be. Well, the temperature might be as high as 102 degrees or so that day in your area, let's say Fairfield, for example, and then as you travel through areas in and around the North Sacramento Valley, Sutter County, Colusa County, etc., other places The temperature may be as high as around 102 degrees. Wind power production in any form will not bring much relief. I know there was a delta breeze this morning, but later today that breeze will die down and essentially disappear. This will lead us into a mild night tonight. So now every time you see temperatures in this triple digit range, I know it at least makes me think about how close are we to record altitude? Now let's turn to meteorologist Kelly Kern to see how close we are to record temperatures. Kelly, we're getting close. But we're not expecting to break any records here, at least not today and probably not tomorrow. Let’s take a look at some of today’s record numbers. Predicted high or predicted high, as you've been saying, 106 but today's record high is 109. , in Stockton and. 112 Mosto. South Lake Tahoe's record today is 99 set in 1988. How far away it is from setting some records for July. The record for temperatures reaching 100 degrees on July 17 was set in 2003. and the number of days with 105 degrees and above. It seems that we are very close to this record. Yes, we know this is going to go down in history come July. 2024, when you just look at the ringing keys, we already have today, but the good thing about mornings is that it's comfortable. This is a photo of the scene as we walked out of our house, it was 68 degrees in Stockton, the sun was up and the sky was a little hazy. 53 degrees. So seriously, I can't stress enough to take advantage of mornings, especially when it comes to being outdoors. Do something before lunch time. If you wait until after lunch time you will really feel the brunt of the heat. It is not recommended to be in direct sunlight from around 2pm to 6pm, which will be the hottest time of the day in the valley. Foothills 105 is breached again in many areas. We are looking forward to a hot day for you too. By around 3pm we had climbed to 100 degrees in places like AUBURN CRUISE INTO 102 and the Sierras. Keep an eye on the sky for changing clouds and perhaps isolated thunderstorms. I think the best location will be to the east, but even in the Sierra we could still see potential for storms. Let's talk about the South Lake Tahoe or Kirkwood or Bear Valley areas. It's noon time on FutureCast. Notice that you can see those storm cells bubbling up. When we get to about 4:00 and 5:00 in the afternoon, you can see that this is really the east and south sides of the mountains. Witness the brunt of this storm's activity. The high pressure area will expand further to the west tomorrow. This is our hottest segment of the week. Then, once we get into Wednesday and Thursday, we'll see the ridge move eastward, prompting cooler temperatures. So we're focusing on your hottest part of the week, 108 Tomorrow. Then on Wednesday, we get temperatures down to below 105 degrees, and then we'll get down to the upper 80s. Next weekend will see lows in the 90s. Guys, the outdoor plans for next weekend look great. If you're planning an outdoor children's birthday or an outdoor wedding, go for it
