California Valleys to Soar Above 100°F Through Early Next Week as Bay Area Cools

A high-pressure ridge from the interior West will deliver persistent triple-digit heat to inland areas with coastal marine breezes keeping shore temperatures mild.

Overview

  • The inland heat wave builds Wednesday and is forecast to peak Thursday with valley highs between 100°F and 105°F.
  • An unusually cool ocean and strong marine layer will confine daytime highs along the coast to the 60s and 70s.
  • Heat Impact Days have been declared for Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday to warn residents of elevated risks of heat-related illnesses.
  • Valley overnights are expected to remain warm with minimal delta breeze on peak heat days.
  • Forecast models show the ridge weakening by mid-next week, bringing gradual cooling and relief from the heat.
