Another day of blistering heat – well in excess of 110 degrees – is expected Tuesday as the current heat wave hits its projected peak before tapering off this weekend.

But highs of 100 degrees or more are expected through Friday in both Fairfield and Vacaville – and much of the surrounding areas – before temperatures dip back into the 80s and 90s.

The high at the Nut Tree Airport is projected to top out at 117 Tuesday, drop off to 107 Wednesday, jump to 112 Thursday and dip a bit to 109 Friday, the National Weather Service reports. The mercury hit 108 Friday, 103 Saturday, 108 Sunday and 115 on Labor Day.
