And even thursday and i joke before i was like, oh, this is the last blast of summer like . Maybe not. I mean, you know, i was looking at the extended forecast. Does look like we start to cool down obviously this weekend and then into next week. But theres always the chance of that little heat snapped this month. October is a little tricky and goodness knows. Weve been very lucky this october as far as any fire danger is concerned. But were going to have some heat. Were going have a little offshore wind. So just a reminder that we are still dealing with that. So tomorrow is when the heats going to kick in and then it really peaks as we get into thursday. And thats when we could see, you know, 80 degrees tomorrow in San Francisco and even mid 80s potentially hotter than that as we get into thursday. The coast is also another place that i think could over perform now after wednesday and thursday are over. We are going to cool down pretty drastically as we head towards the weekend. So just got to have to hang in there, right . If you dont like the heat, these are the temperatures are right now. You can see those upper 60s and San Francisco, some nice 70s around the bay. Some beautiful 80s in spots like livermore right now saying about 83 degrees. San jose, 80 degrees, a little warm in nevado. They are at 88 but this is whats happening as we get into the next couple of days. You can see Southern California also in this heat advisory. It central opcalifornias too. So its not just us. It is going to be High Pressure that really influences the entire west coast as we head into wednesday and thursday. So essentially 11 00am wednesday 11 00pm thursday. Thats when the bulk of this is going to happen. North bay kind of goes into it thursday night, a peninsula as well. But that is to say that the heat is going to be with us for 2 days. And the reason for that is High Pressure, High Pressure, as you know is the thing that starts to warm us up brings us those clear skies. You can see its moving in as we get into wednesday and thursday. Then by the time we get into friday, thats when you start to see low pressure take over and thats why well see those temperatures change so quickly. So tomorrow, the beginning of this little snap of heat looking out for 80 degrees in San Francisco. 75 out of half moon bay. Its a pretty nice day out at the coast tomorrow and some 90s as we head inland cc spots like livermore, morgan hill looking about 94 degrees. So then we get into thursday. Thats were going to pump it up even higher in some spots. And that is the case in San Francisco where we could see those mid 80s as i was talking about at the coast as well. So thursday will be that peak of the heat. And then friday, its a very different story. Now. Want to mention we also have a northwest swell thats going to be coming in and that is bringing us the risk of sneaker waves and rip currents and now a high surfeit advisory where we could see waves 17 to 22 feet. Very dangerous out there make sure you do not turn your back on the ocean. And if you have guests that are with you and the next 24 hours, make sure theyre aware of some of our coastal dangers. People dont realize its so pretty, but it can get dangerous. Really quickly. We cool down on friday and then check out the weekend. We actually have. Yes, you see that a chance.

If you get those windows open to get that fan that will be the case on wednesday and thursday, everybody and in fact, in the overnight hours youll notice we will cool down as much as we would if the marine layer is rolling in. Obviously lots of blue skies out there. That does give you anrindication that High Pressures starting to nudge its way and taking a look at current temperatures still kind of cool out at the coast or you can see that 61 degrees in pacifica. 73 in oakland. 83 in pittsburgh, though you move inland starts to warm up nevada right now sitting at about 86 degrees. Weve also got a little wind out there starting to pick up and it is more of a sea breeze right now. You can see its moving out of the northwest that were going to be a little bit of offshore wind as we get later into tonight. And that is going to combine with some High Pressure thats going to help us to heat up really quickly, not just inland where well see some of those low potentially midnineties as we get into thursday. But as we get thursday, also looking out for the coast and also San Francisco and places around the bay to get awfully warm above average. So you can see thats why this heat advisory is kicking in for wednesday and thursday. So its basically everyone in the valleys. It is also good portion of the south bay east bay going up in the peninsula. But you do not see along the coast. Rates of those are the areas that art really going to be in this. But tomorrows highs even out at the coast looking up or 74 degrees 80 in San Francisco. You see some of those 90s as you start to head inland. But even around the bay itself in those 80s. Now, in addition to that, we have a northwest swell thats coming in. And thats bringing us some rip currents and also the threat of some really big waves out there. So high advisories kicking in for tomorrow throughout the day on thursday. And were looking out for 17 to 22 foot high wave. So want to make sure that if you are out at the coast, youre aware of that. Just making sure you are not turn your back on the ocean because sneaker waves are certainly a possibility. We will cool it down as we get to friday and then we really cool. A town has just was mentioning a Little Something for everyone.
