Event narrative (NOAA)
Triple-digit heat was to blame for Highway 50 eastbound section buckling on Sunday, June 18th near the Jefferson Boulevard exit in West Sacramento. On June 19th Caltrans crews were out again to make repairs as more cracking/buckling closed the number 3 and 4 lanes well into the evening. High temperatures in downtown Sacramento were 106 on the 18th (record), and 107 on the 19th (record).
