Temperatures Expected To Return To The 80s Next Weekend

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) -- Relief from the heat is on the way.

After nearly a week with temperatures climbing to 100 degrees or above in the Central Valley, cooler weather is in store for next week.

The National Weather Service says while the workweek will start with another day of triple-digit heat, Tuesday will kick off a cooling trend. Come Thursday, temperatures will be around average for this time of year in Sacramento, near 90 degrees.

But the temperatures will keep falling. Weekend temperatures in areas such as Sacramento and Stockton will be in the mid-80s.

Looking ahead, weather models suggest that the below-average weather will linger in northern California through the first week of July.

According to weather officials, Sunday marked the six day in a row that Sacramento saw temperatures reach 100 degrees or more. The all-time June record for consecutive 100-degree days in nine, which was set back in 1981.
