Several other areas in Northern California could see temperatures past 110 degrees on Thursday, including Redding, Red Bluff and Marysville.
Early morning temperatures were already in the upper 70s and low 80s across the region.
If you're looking to escape the heat, even San Francisco is expected to hit the low 80s – which is pretty warm for them. South Lake Tahoe is expected to hit the mid-80s.
