Hazardous Weather Outlook Issued For Bay Area

BAY AREA, CA – The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for early this week and midweek for portions of the Bay Area, warning the public that the threat of heat-related illnesses will increase Monday and especially Tuesday and Wednesday. The heat poses the greatest risk to at-risk and elderly populations, as well as people engaging in outdoor activities, weather officials said.

Officials urged the public not to leave people or pets in parked vehicles for any reason, for any length of time. Officials also noted that increased fire weather concerns are likely as a result of hot and dry conditions.

In the East Bay, temperatures in the valleys will range from the 90s to the low 100s, while temperatures will be in the 70s to the low 80s along the bay.

Temperatures will generally be in the upper 70s in San Francisco and in the 60s along the Peninsula coast.
