Temperatures in the hottest places are expected to surpass or at least threaten 100 degrees on Friday.
The latest Bay Area heat wave is expected to crest Friday, with temperatures in many places likely to surpass or at least threaten 100 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Then just as quickly, the dial will dip about 10 degrees to start a two-day cooldown that the weather service said will span the weekend.
“Remember how in the winter, it seemed like every other storm that hit us seemed to be less than a week since the previous one?” NWS meteorologist Brayden Murdock said Friday. “That’s what we have now. Global weather is on about a 6- to 6 1/2-day timeline where there’s an oscillation of the pattern. As the jet stream stays where it is, we have the building of high pressure ridges and then low pressure in between.
That said, the weather service expected it to be mighty hot on Friday. A heat advisory that started Thursday remained in effect Friday for the much of the East Bay and South Bay, as did an air quality advisory. Smoke from wildfires across Northern California will have an effect on the air, officials said.
Even the spots next to the water will be warmer than usual. San Mateo is forecast to reach 82, as is Oakland. San Francisco is expected to hit 75.
