Dangerous temperatures possible this week along with elevated fire risks, forecasters say

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.
