SACRAMENTO, CA  - The warmest temperature in Sacramento in 2011 was 102 degrees.  On Saturday afternoon the city hit 105 degrees making the day the hottest since August 2010.

According to News10 Meteorologist Ashton Altieri, Sacramento was only a few degrees away from a record on Saturday. The record for June 16 in downtown Sacramento is 108 degrees set in 1985.

Altieri expects similar temperatures for Sunday before cooler weather arrives on Monday with highs in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees in the valley.

The record temperature for Sunday (June 16) in Sacramento is 102 degrees set in 1976 so there is a chance the record could be tied or broken.

It has also been very warm in the mountains on Saturday with highs in the 80s for Blue Canyon and Truckee.

SACRAMENTO, CA    The long standing way to categorize hurricane strength is undergoing changes.

Scientists at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) analyzed how wind speeds were converted among the various units, such as knots to miles per hour. They realized there were some gray areas where conversions weren't as specific as they needed. This prompted them to develop a revised scale that better assess wind speeds for advisory products.

The changes will affect the Category 4 storms wind speed range, which will now be 130-156 m.p.h. Previously, the range was 131-155 m.p.h. winds. the NHC says historical records will not be altered based on this change.

Hurricanes start as tropical storms. Once wind speeds reach 74 m.p.h., the storms are classified as hurricanes. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale ranges from Category 1 with winds 74-95 m.p.h. to Category 5 with winds 157 m.p.h. or higher.
