We made it through the weekend, were looking at temperatures in the 50s and you know what . Not as cold as it has been in the past couple of mornings so as you get out to walk the dog this morning, going for an early jog, you may not need that heavier jacket and by this afternoon, shorts, flipflops, sunscreen and shades. And remember that water if youre going to be oultds for a long amount of time, especially if youre a construction worker, working on route trivalley today, 80 for San Francisco, even the peninsula today will be in the 80s and the 90s for the south bay now because of the heat and High Pressure that creates this sinking air in the atmosphere, were going to see stagnant air in our lower parts of the atmosphere this weekend, and thats going to lead to air quality that begins to suffer from the north bay through the east bay, the peninsula, and for the south bay as well, so everywhere, if you suffer from asthma or have respiratory ailments, limit your time outside this weekend. Keep in mind its going to be hot. Even by lunch thyme, temperatures in the 80s for our warmest locations. The reason be it, High Pressure is pushing the storm track way to the north and that allows for a lot of the heat that typically sits across the southern part of the state, los angeles, the four corners region, thats going to build in as we head toward the next couple of days and thats going to lead to some very hot weather e. Heres what im talking about. Not bad at the coastline, but inland valley like walnut creek, napa, lower 90s this afternoon and look down toward southern california. Look what happens over the next couple days. Back tomorrow, looking at temperatures across the entire state near 100 degrees for inland valleys from napa to walnut creek, even fresno, bakersfield. Now because of this excessive heat and we usually dont see heat like this, in fact, any time you get above 95 degrees, thats dangerous heat so a heat advisory goes into effect for tomorrow across the entire bay area for the afternoon hours. It will go into effect again on monday for the afternoon hours and along with that, we have a red flag fire warning in the north bay for our valleys and mountains there. So do keep in mind if youre going to be headed to wine country, we have a heightened fire risk there. Burning is highly discouraged and really across the bay area just because it has been so dry. Temperatures today, hot but not dangerously hot until tomorrow. But the heat building. 87 palo alto. Tomorrow forecast, tack on about 5 degrees from wherever youre at, another warm one. Temperatures 100 degrees, thats why we have that heat advisory in effect, especially if you have to work outside for a long amount of time. San francisco is going to get in on the heat as we head to the next couple of days and then we fall back into the 60s by wednesday. But over the next couple days, its going to be hot.
