Bay Area Heat Wave and Fire Risk | San Francisco News

Published 1 day, 21 hours ago
Description

A major heat wave is brewing across the Bay Area, with inland temperatures soaring 10-15 degrees above normal by Saturday and Sunday—pushing into the low to high 90s. Coastal zones will stay cooler, in the mid-60s to high 70s, but overnight lows will hover in the mid to high 50s. This extreme heat isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s dangerously dry, elevating wildfire risk to near-critical levels, especially inland and at higher elevations. Sparks from grills, campfires, or machinery could ignite fires, so extreme caution is urged. Meanwhile, minor coastal flooding is expected Friday evening through Thursday morning, driven by high tides along the San Francisco, San Pablo, and Monterey Bays—especially affecting low-lying areas. The National Weather Service has issued a “moderate HeatRisk” for inland zones starting Friday, warning that conditions will only worsen. Stay hydrated, stay cool, and be fire-safe—coastal residents should also monitor tide levels.
