Bay Area Heat Wave: Record-Breaking Temperatures Expected

Hot weather is expected to build over Northern California, including parts of the Bay Area, with temperatures likely to jump from the upper 70s to the mid-90s over the next couple of days. Inland cities such as Santa Rosa and Walnut Creek will experience hot and dry air as a ridge of high pressure pushes cool marine air away. The bulk of the heat will remain in the Central Valley, but temperatures in the lower 90s are expected in Concord and Livermore. The warming trend will continue into the holiday weekend.
