We start with the excessive heat warning
now in effect for most of the s,
Sacramento and Stockton hitting
well above 100 degrees today.
And if you think a trip to trucking is cool.
Is not. It's 92 degrees there today as well.
So let's get right to meteorolot
Carly Gomez, who's tracking thee
triple digit temperatures. Hi, Carly.
Hi. Yeah, temperatures right no,
but 103 degrees so far for the
high in Sacramento, Marysville,
106 in Orville and Fairfield with 105
so far in Stockton, 101 in Mode.
Taking a look at Truckee,
they're now at 93 degrees for the high.
These temperatures still have at
another hour or so to go before we start
seeing some of the peaks there for a lot
of the cities now not quite that 100 and 800.
9 As a lot of people forecast,
but we are seeing a little bit
slightly just below that now.
Downtown areas as well as portis
where there's a lot of concrete tarmac.
Yeah, we could see those temperatures
closer to about 106 to 108 degr.
Looking at the Almanac,
the average is 93 degrees this time of year.
In the big mountain backyard,
you are looking at temperatures currently
still sitting at 103105 in Stoc,
103 Marysville.
So, so far,
these still are the highs of the
day with Tahoe at 91 degrees.
The excessive heat warning up and down
the state with the heat advisory in that
orange shade there until Sunday 8:00 PM.
Further North Pacific Northwest dealing
with fire weather concerns as ty
are looking at very low humiditd
dry areas of brush and we're gog
to going to see these temperatus
here anywhere from 95 to 108 des
still continuing through Sunday.
So we still have a lot more to .
Limit outdoor activities,
stay hydrated,
especially limit caffeine and alcohol.
I know caffeine could be hard fr
a lot of people but find that ar
conditioning keep cool in the.
Peak hours check on children,
elderly and pets.
And tomorrow we're looking at
temperatures very similar,
around 105 degrees in the valley
in foothills.
We'll talk more about this heatd
when we can expect maybe a cool.
All right, Thanks, Carly.
We'll keep in mind heat.
It kills more people in the US each year
than any other extreme weather event.
According to the National Weather Service,
there are more yearly deaths attributed
to heat than other weather disasters.
We're talking about floods,
hurricanes and even tornadoes.
And in the Sacramento region,
many are finding different
ways to beat this seat.
First responders are warning to keep a
close eye on the elderly and young kids.
ABC Ted's Garsh Paul Saga joins
us now live from Elk Grove,
where people are beating the heat and
looking for signs just in case they need
to call 911 before things go wr.
Hi, Garsh Paul.
Hi there, Devin.
And this is one of the more popr
ways people are being the heat.
Taking a swim. This is one of te
more busy area here in the regin
where people are just taking a .
We are here at the Barbara Moors
Wackford Community and Aquatic Complex,
and they're near operation here.
They're about to come to a close for earlier.
There were a lot more people just trying
to stay away from that deadly h.
The heat wave is here to stay,
at least in the short term.
But that didn't keep some
inside this Saturday,
either sitting under a tent neaa
fan or getting something refres.
For some, making a stop at
Gunther's ice cream was necessa.
Eating a pretty 50 Freeze Alliae
out the door was one way people tried
to escape the triple digit heatt

strength back up for Tay Mcloin

Even a small thing that like a
cool drink of water that you gie
to someone, it can really make a
big impact even in their life. e

go around Sacramento offering
relief. I help those that are
suffering through the intense h.
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, and f
you need to take a cool shower,
Metro Fire Captain Parker Wilborn says also
staying near the A/C is the best option.
But for those who don't have that option,
today's a great day to go to the mall,
get some shopping done, stay indoors,
stay in the air conditioning,
an eye on the elderly,
then the kiddos. They can.
They can decompensate very quicy
if you're exposed to the elemen,
Wilborn says. One thing is to
watch out for heat cramps.
That's a great time to get indo.
If you're not already,
start drinking that water.
If it progresses and you start
seeing people stop sweating,
their skin gets very hot to the touch,
they might start throwing up or
get nauseous and might become a
little bit altered where you're
not recognizing their mentation.
That's a good time to call 911.
Again, we are back out here livt
the Barbara Morse Wackford Commy
and Aquatics Complex in Elk Gro.
Now Cooley centers are open in
the greater Sacramento area as
the heat wave will stick around.

Well, thanks Cars Paul for
giving us that report.
I'm sure it was very tempting not to jump in.
And a reminder to keep a watchful eye on
your kids during this summer heat wave.
Last year, 33 children died from
heat stroke while in the car.
Around 1/4 of heat stroke deaths
caused by hot cars happen becaue
a child got in a car on their o.
In California, the law allows pe
to intervene like breaking a car
window to save a life, and lega,
the same applies to dogs left
in the car too, if
you reasonably believe that
that child is in danger.
Due to extreme heat or cold
or any other circumstances,
then you can take action in ordo
remove that child from that vehe
and not be liable for the damag.
Officials say that if you do
remove a child or a pet from a
potentially dangerous situation,
call 911 and tell them why you did it.
And where you are?
And remember, children are more
vulnerable to heat stroke since their
body temperatures can rise three
to five times faster than adult.
