"“We might see the temperatures reach the upper 80s in downtown Oakland, and for San Francisco, we might get into the mid-80s,” Hoang said. By Tuesday, inland areas such as Walnut Creek could reach the low 90s. The high-pressure system forming isn't the same as the type that creates record-breaking heat, but it will still likely push the marine layer farther out to sea, allowing for offshore winds to bring hotter days to the region."
"Hoang said the warm-up is typical for what people call "Bay Area summer," when the warmest temperatures of the year usually occur. "If we do get that offshore flow, we might just see temperatures rising above what we currently expect," Hoang said. However, the heat is likely to last only a few days. Meteorologists wrote in Friday's daily forecast discussion that while the end of the week's weather is still "kind of fantasy land at this point,""
A high-pressure system will displace an existing low-pressure system, reducing the marine layer and allowing warmer, offshore-driven air to push temperatures higher across the Bay Area. Temperatures could reach upper 80s in downtown Oakland and mid-80s in San Francisco, with inland locations like Walnut Creek possibly hitting low 90s by Tuesday. The warm spell is typical for Bay Area summer and likely short-lived, lasting a few days. Another round of rain could return late in the week into next weekend, raising fire-weather timing concerns as warmth peaks.
