A moderate HeatRisk is expected through Friday with temperatures well above normal in the San Francisco Bay Area. To mitigate your risk: drink plenty of water or sports drink, do not leave children, the elderly or pets in unattended vehicles, take frequent breaks in air conditioning or shade, and shift activities outdoors to cooler times of the day.Â
More record-setting temperatures were recorded around the Bay Area on Friday at the end of a heat wave that has lasted several days, according to the National Weather Service.
As of noon Friday, locations including downtown San Francisco, San Jose, the Oakland Museum of California, Redwood City and Salinas had all broken their daily record for high temperatures on the date of March 20, forecasters with the weather service said.
A weather balloon launched about 5,000 feet above Oakland on Friday recorded a temperature that set the record at that altitude for not only the month of March, but April as well, the weather service’s San Francisco Bay Area office announced on social media.
High temps were expected to reach the mid-90s in some inland locations and the 80s along the coast Friday. The weather service issued a Heat Advisory for the Bay Area and Central Coast earlier this week that is set to expire at 8 p.m. Friday.
A gradual cooling trend is expected to start Saturday, with highs in the mid 80s inland expected into next week, temperatures that are still above season averages, forecasters said.
