The heat wave is poised to linger; tonight's low will dip to around 65, while Sunday's temperatures are set to soar even higher, reaching a sweltering 103 degrees. Despite the evenings cooling off slightly, they offer little respite, with lows hovering in the mid-60s. Monday continues the trend, displaying more of the same brilliantly sunny skies and highs around the century mark, "Sunny and hot, with a high near 100," as stated on the NWS - Sacramento Weather Forecast.
Looking ahead, this toasty pattern is expected to hold steady through the week.
