Forecasters were warning about dangerously hot conditions across much of California on Sunday, with triple-digit temperatures raising the risk of heat-related illnesses, as well as isolated thunderstorms in some mountain and desert areas. The storms were not expected to carry much moisture but could generate lightning in the hot and dry areas, he said. Swaths of Central and Northern California were also expected to see dangerous heat Sunday, with temperatures 100 degrees or higher forecast for an area stretching from Bakersfield up to Redding. “We go back and forth between having some heat waves and having temperatures more typical for summer,” he said. In the Inland Empire, temperatures were expected to remain steady until midweek to next weekend, when they might drop a bit, Adams said.
