Bay Area, California – A significant warm-up is in store for California’s Bay Area and Monterey regions, with temperatures soaring into the 80s and even low 90s by this weekend. According to the National Weather Service, peak heat is expected on Friday and Saturday, prompting safety reminders for residents.
Highs are predicted to climb to 88°F in San Francisco by Saturday, with inland areas like Concord and Livermore reaching into the low 90s. Meanwhile, coastal cities such as Monterey will see more moderate temperatures in the low 80s. The NWS is urging people to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours, especially in cities where temperatures will exceed 85°F.
As the heat intensifies, the risk for heat-related illnesses rises. Residents in areas like San Jose and Santa Rosa should be mindful of extreme conditions, as highs will hover around 88°F in some parts. It’s crucial to avoid leaving children or pets in vehicles, as temperatures inside cars can become deadly even when it’s only 60°F outside.
The hot stretch will continue into Saturday, but temperatures are expected to cool slightly by Sunday. Keep an eye on the latest updates, as further advisories may be issued if conditions worsen.
