YOUR DAY IS GOING TO GET HOT. AND LUCKILY IT’S NOT WARM YET FOR THOSE VETERANS DOING THAT WORKOUTS. YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT. THIS MORNING, A PERFECT MORNING TO BE OUTSIDE AND DOING THOSE ACTIVITIES AND A GREAT TIME TO DO IT BECAUSE DON’T WAIT UNTIL NOON OR AFTER. IT IS GOING TO GET PRETTY WARM TODAY, IN FACT, WILL BE APPROACHING 100 AND MANY SPOTS IN THE VALLEY BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WE’RE LOOKING LIVE HERE IN FAIRFIELD. YOU CAN CERTAINLY SEE THE WIND TURBINES CRANKING IN THAT ONSHORE BREEZE. IT’S STILL THERE. AND YOU CAN EVEN SEE SOME OF THAT MARINE LAYER THERE IN THE DISTANCE AS WE LOOK OFF TOWARDS NAPA COUNTY. AND RIGHT NOW AT 61 IN SACRAMENTO, 63 IN STOCKTON, VERY COMFORTABLE, 65 IN MODESTO, CURRENTLY 40 DEGREES. A CHILL IN THE AIR AT THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE TAHOE. AND YOU CAN SEE AT LEAST IN FAIRFIELD, THE WIND AT TEN MILES AN HOUR WITH THAT ONSHORE COMPONENT THAT WILL BE THERE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. ONE CHANGE GOING INTO TOMORROW MIGHT BE A BIT MORE OF A NORTH BREEZE AND WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME REAL HEAT FOR TOMORROW. TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE THE HOTTER OF THE TWO DAYS THIS WEEKEND AND SOME OF THAT HEAT IS GOING TO LINGER AS WE GET INTO MONDAY. BUT LOOK AT THE HOUR BY HOUR FORECAST FOR FAIRFIELD. AGAIN, SOME SCATTERED LOW CLOUDS IN PARTS OF SOLANO COUNTY. EARLY TODAY WILL WARM THROUGH THE 60S AND 70S, GET INTO THE 80S BY 1 P.M. AND THEN WE’RE IN THE LOW TO MID 90S IN THE DELTA, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THAT ONSHORE BREEZE AT A GOOD 15 MILES AN HOUR LATE TODAY. THOSE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN SACRAMENTO WILL BE NOTICEABLY HIGHER TODAY COMPARED TO THE PAST FEW DAYS. THURSDAY. REMEMBER, WE’RE ONLY IN THE UPPER 80S AND YESTERDAY WE GOT TO 96, A LITTLE BIT ABOVE AVERAGE. BUT TODAY WE’RE GOING TO NEAR 100. AND TOMORROW, LIKELY AT THAT 105 DEGREE MARK. WE’RE CALLING IT AN IMPACT DAY, MEANING YOU HAVE TO PLAN AROUND THAT KIND OF HEAT DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. SATELLITE RADAR VIEW SHOWS VERY QUIET SKIES, CLEAR SKIES. WE STILL HAVE THAT MARINE LAYER ALONG THE COAST IN THIS HIGH. THAT’S OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST WITH ALL THAT HEAT BUILDS TOWARDS US TOMORROW WITH THAT LITTLE BIT OF THAT NORTH BREEZE, TOO. THAT’S WHY TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE UP THERE IN THAT 105 RANGE. NOW, MONDAY, STILL LOOKS HOT, BUT TUESDAY AS THIS LOW GOES BY TO OUR NORTH, IT’S GOING TO HELP TO ENCOURAGE THAT DELTA BREEZE, THAT ONSHORE BREEZE AND OVERALL COOL US DOWN. AND IT’LL BE A BIG CHANGE GOING INTO TUESDAY COMPARED TO WHERE WE’LL BE THIS WEEKEND. SIERRA HIGH TEMPERATURES LOOK LIKE THIS, 92 IN QUINCY TODAY, ABOUT 80 AT SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. A REALLY NICE DAY, MID 80S AND POLLOCK PINES AND ARNOLD TO THIS AFTERNOON FOOTHILLS. IT’LL BE A VERY WARM AFTERNOON WARMER THAN YESTERDAY WILL MAKE IT INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S ABOUT 93 IN JACKSON 94 TODAY IN SONORA PLACES LIKE LAKE PARK GOING TO BE INTO THE 90S AS WELL 95 DEGREES NAPA ONCE THE LOW CLOUDS GO AWAY, IT’LL BE ABOUT 86. IN SAN FRANCISCO, LOW CLOUDS TO SUNSHINE IN A HIGH OF 70 THERE. SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY A HIGH OF 98 AND TRACY CLOSE TO 100 IN STOCKTON AND MANTECA, ABOUT 99 DEGREES TODAY. AND IN THE SACRAMENTO REGION, PLACES LIKE ROSEVILLE, 101 TODAY ABOUT SACRAMENTO, 100 DEGREES. DAVIS, 98 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON. HERE’S THE SEVEN-DAY FORECAST TOMORROW. AGAIN, THAT 105 DEGREE TEMPERATURE FOR SUNDAY. THEN WE’RE BACK DOWN TO 102. BUT LOOK AT THAT BIG DROP INTO TUESDAY, UPPER 80S. AND THEN WHEN WE BOUNCE AROUND, TEMPERATURES AROUND 90 TO LOW 90S, THE REST OF THE WEEK. SO REALLY IT’S JUST SOMETHING YOU GOT TO PREPARE FOR FOR THIS WEEKEND. TOMORROW, ESPECIALLY WITH THAT HEAT AROUND 105. WE SIT SHORT LIVED FOR NOW YEAH HE

Overturned fuel truck blocks traffic on Highway 12 in Calaveras County, officials say

Traffic on Highway 12 in the Wallace area of Calaveras County is blocked after an overturned fuel truck spilled about 300 gallons of diesel onto the roadway, according to the Calaveras Consolidated Fire Protection District. The California Patrol Officials said the driver of the fuel truck suffered moderate injuries, and first responders transported him to the hospital. They said he was awake and alert at the scene. People are urged to use Burson Road and Camanche Parkway South as a detour. (Video above: Northern California weekend forecast.) Fire officials told KCRA3 it is expected that traffic will be blocked for between 12 to 15 hours. It’s unclear what led to the crash but CHP does not suspect alcohol or drugs. But officials said the truck was hauling about 7,600 gallons of diesel and what didn’t spill must be off-loaded before crews can move the vehicle. Crews have built a dyke to keep the diesel from flowing into Bear Creek, which is dry, KCRA 3’s Michelle Bandur reported. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services is also on the scene.
