Bay Area dwellers may be enjoying the seasonable weather for now, but don’t get too used to it, caution forecasters with the National Weather Service.
Temperatures around the region are expected to ramp up by Friday and bring elevated heat and fire risk, NWS forecasters said, with the interior Bay Area and Central Coast areas warming up by 10 to 20 degrees above average by the end of the week.
Inland communities, including Fairfield and Stockton, will be under an extreme heat watch from Friday morning through Saturday evening. Dangerous heat, with temps from 99 to 109 are possible, forecasters said.
There will be a moderate risk for heat-related illness for people susceptible to heat, and dry conditions will bring increased grass fire risk on the weekend.
The weather agency reminded the public to never a leave a child, disabled person, or pet locked in a car.
