Triple-digit highs are expected across the valley, with areas north of Interstate 80 expected to get the hottest on Friday.
Limited overnight relief is expected, according to NWS, with low temperatures of over 65 degrees forecasted.
Temperatures are expected to come down by Sunday, with seasonable weather forecasted by Monday.
Elevated fire conditions
The NWS says there are elevated fire conditions in the delta, valley and lower foothills.
On Friday, north winds could gust up to 25 mph with sustained 10-15 mph winds. On Saturday, the winds will shift south with gusts up to 30 mph and sustained winds of 15-20 mph.
Elevated fire weather conditions are also in the forecast tomorrow thru Tuesday. The combination of low humidity values and breezy winds will lead to easier fire starts. #CAwx pic.twitter.com/e3epXnfogJ
