Northern California forecast: Temperatures warm to triple digits Thursday

READY FOR AN AFTERNOON GAME. SO IF YOU’RE HEADED OUT TO THE BALLPARK FOR THAT FIRST PITCH AT WITH THE RIVER CATS THERE AT SUTTER HEALTH PARK PLAN, IT’S GOING TO BE COMFORTABLE IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S AT THAT POINT. WE’VE GOT A REALLY NICE MORNING OUT THERE AS WELL, PLAYING INTO THE 50S RIGHT NOW. BUT IF YOU’RE GOING OUT FOR THAT FIRST PITCH AROUND 1205, IT IS WET WEDNESDAY AS WELL. IF YOU’RE BRINGING THE FURRY FRIENDS SHOULD BE JUST FINE. I THINK THAT BY THE LATTER PORTION AROUND THE SEVENTH TO NINTH INNING STRETCH, THERE, EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO START TO GRADUALLY WARM INTO THE UPPER 80S TO ABOUT THE 90S. WE HAVE AN ONSHORE BREEZE WITH US THIS MORNING THAT’S HELPING TO KEEP THOSE TEMPERATURES DOWN IN THE 50S ALL ACROSS THE 80 CORRIDOR, IF YOU WILL. SO IF YOU’RE JOINING US IN DICKSON DAVIS AND EVEN INTO WINTERS AND SACRAMENTO, WE’VE GOT A NICE MORNING TEMPERATURES IN THOSE UPPER 50S THAT WIND IS WITH US RIGHT NOW. BUT THE QUESTION IS, AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY, HOW STRONG IS IT GOING TO BE? WELL, THAT’LL BE A SOUTHWEST WIND PLAYING OUT 5 TO 10 THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. AND THEN WATCH THOSE WINDS. THEY DO START TO JOG BACK UP AS WE HEAD TOWARDS FIVE, SIX, 7:00. THIS EVENING. SO MAYBE ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHERE YOU JUST HAVE TO USE THE AIR CONDITIONING AND THE PEAK HEATING OF THE AFTERNOON. THOSE HOURS, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN 3 P.M. AND 6 P.M. AND THEN ONCE THAT BREEZE STARTS TO COME BACK AND INITIATE STRONGER, THIS EVENING, YOU CAN ENJOY THE COOLING OF THAT BREEZE COMING THROUGH FOR THE FOOTHILLS. THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE IN THE MID 80S. BY LUNCHTIME. VERY SIMILAR FORECAST TO YESTERDAY AS WE’LL MAKE THE CLIMB INTO THE MID-NINETIES. NOW THE PATTERN AS WE LOOK AT IT NOW, WE’VE GOT THIS AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WHICH IS JUST A LITTLE FARTHER TO THE EAST TODAY THAT’S ALLOWING THOSE TEMPERATURES TO STAY IN THE MID 90S AND OFFER UP THAT DELTA BREEZE. BUT BY TOMORROW, WATCH THIS AREA OF RED JUST COME ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THAT IS GOING TO SET THE STAGE FOR SOME HEATING AS WE GET IN THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AND THAT HEATING STICKS AROUND FROM FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. AND THEN WATCH WHAT HAPPENS AS WE GET INTO SUNDAY. WE TAKE THE EDGE OFF OF THE HEAT AS MORE OF THAT RED STARTS TO MOVE OFF TO THE EAST AND WE’VE GOT MORE ORANGE FILLING IN. SO THAT’S WHEN WE’LL FINALLY START TO NOTICE A BIT MORE OF A DIFFERENCE IN TERMS OF THE TEMPERATURES. NOW, THE AVERAGE THIS TIME OF YEAR, 95, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE HIT YESTERDAY. TOMORROW WE STEP IT UP TO ABOUT 101 FRIDAY, THE HOTTEST PART OF THIS INCOMING HEAT WAVE IS AT 105. AND THEN WE START TO BACK DOWN INTO THE MID 90S BY EARLY NEXT WEEK AND GET OUT OF THE HEAT WAVE EVENTUALLY. BUT YOU COULD SEE AGAIN THAT THE MORNING THAT’S BEEN PLEASURE WHICH HAS BEEN WHICH WE’VE BEEN REALLY NICE IN THOSE 50 THAT’LL START TO GO TO THE WAYSIDE FOR THE WEEKEND AS WE HIT THOSE LOW 70S IN THE MORNING.
