Here’s how much rain fell in Northern California and how hot it’s going to get this week

An unusual June storm that brought more than inch of rain to parts of Northern California and left the Sacramento region pleasantly damp Sunday morning will give way to blistering hot temperatures in the Central Valley this week.

The National Weather Service’s 24-hour rainfall totals through 10 a.m. Sunday show the storm brought impressive amounts across parts of the north state. Nearly 2 inches fell in Crescent City on the North Coast near the Oregon border. Just over 2 inches fell on the other side of the state in La Porte in rural Plumas County. A half-inch fell in Redding, according to the National Weather Service.

The showers weren’t as impressive around the capital region, but still enough to soak streets and dampen the lawns that are turning brown as residents save water in the third year of California’s punishing drought.

Downtown Sacramento got .15 of an inch of rain in the 24-hour period ending at 10 a.m. while Sacramento International Airport got .27 of an inch of rain. Lincoln received .42 of an inch.

The temperatures in Sacramento, expected to top out at 77 degrees on Sunday, will soon heat up. By Tuesday, temperatures in the city are expected to climb to the mid-90s. By Friday, temperatures could spike to 102 degrees.

Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at UCLA, said on Twitter Sunday morning that temperatures in the “105-110 range” are possible across the Central Valley and may break records.
