Much of California faces a one-two weather punch this week as a dangerous heat wave and high fire risk loom at a time when millions will be outside celebrating Independence Day. Temperatures in the Sacramento Valley could reach 115 degrees, according to Kate Forrest, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in California’s capital city. A heat warning in the area will begin Tuesday and is expected to last until at least Saturday.
Some forecast models suggest the Medford region could set a record for the number of consecutive 100-degree days, Schaaf said. The region endured 10 such days in a row in 1967. Dangerous fire conditions will accompany the sharp rise in temperatures Tuesday in both states. Pacific Gas & Electric said Monday that power shut-offs are likely in 10 California counties Tuesday, given the high winds and dry conditions expected throughout central California.
