Here’s a quick rundown of the top stories:

• A heat dome will push triple-digit temperatures across much of California by the weekend, with highs of 105 to 110 degrees possible in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys, bringing an elevated wildfire risk as humidity plunges into the single digits through early August.

• Impact Sac, a nonprofit that received more than $1.2 million in contracts from the Sacramento Police Department, collected 783 tickets valued at more than $83,000 to the city’s Golden 1 Center luxury suite since 2019 — nearly 300 more than any other nonprofit. The city official who approved those contracts, Nicole Clavo, attended multiple events in the suite and did not disclose the tickets on her required conflict-of-interest statements.

• A proposed half-cent sales tax measure that would have generated about $75 million annually for safer Sacramento streets failed to qualify for the November ballot after the county’s random sample found only about 25,500 of the 32,481 submitted signatures were valid. At least 20 people have died on Sacramento roads during the first five months of the year.
