California, Northern Sacramento Valley

Special Weather Statement

Statement as of 4:04 PM PDT on July 05, 2008

Expires 8:30 AM EDT on July 06, 2008


... Poor air quality expected under stagnant air next week...

... Hot temperatures will also return to central California...

Strong high pressure will begin to build over the region
tomorrow... and remain in place through at least Thursday of next
week. Northeast winds will shift smoke from area fires back into
the Sacramento and northern San Joaquin valleys tonight and
tomorrow. Smoke will remain trapped in the valleys through next
week as upper level high pressure builds over the area. People are
advised to limit outdoor activities and prolonged exposure to the
smoky air... especially those with respiratory conditions... older
adults... and Young children. People with health conditions that
could be aggravated by the smoke and are concerned about their
exposure should be thinking now about how they may avoid the smoke
next week.

The strong high pressure may also bring the warmest temperatures
of the year so far by Tuesday. While there is some uncertainty as to how
warm it will get due to thick smoke cover... record high
temperatures are likely Tuesday through Thursday of next week.
High temperatures in excess of 110 degrees may occur in the Redding and
Red Bluff areas during this period... with 105 to 108 degrees at
Sacramento... Stockton and Modesto. In the mountains... temperatures
as warm as 90 degrees are possible up to 5000 feet. There is a
risk of very warm overnight temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday
nights... especially in the foothills east of Sacramento. Foothill
communities such as Auburn... Placerville... Grass Valley... Paradise
and Jackson may have overnight lows that remain in the mid 80s.

Stay indoors as much as possible during the peak heating of the
day. If you have to work or plan on any recreational activities
outdoors... drink plenty of water ... wear light colored clothing
and take frequent breaks from the sun. Heat can affect anyone.
However... children... the elderly... people with medical conditions
and those engaged in strenuous outdoor activities will be the ones
most impacted by the hot weather.
