Cooler Weather Expected Today

Tuesday's record temperatures, climbing as high at 102 degrees, broke a 1971 record of 90 degrees in San Rafael, according to the National Weather Service.

But Wednesday, while hot, it was merely in the 90s. No record, just kind of clammy.

Meteorologist Austin Cross of the National Weather Service said cooler weather will continue into the next week.

Low clouds and patchy morning fog are expected Friday and will continue through next week, Cross said.

Tuesday's sizzling temperatures didn't faze the staff at Weezy's Grass Fed Shed in Terra Linda, where burgers and fries were the order of the day.

Cook Zach Koblick said it's part of the job.

"You get used to it," Koblick said. "You just drink lots of water."

Manager Abby Vandehey, also known as "head of shed," said the heat is a little hard to take, especially because she is from the state of Washington.

"I'm not used to heat in general but when you're in the industry you get used to it," Vandehey said.

Keely Nickel, of Sausalito, and her mother, Mary Remus, of Alameda, traveled to the pool at the Terra Linda Recreation Center to cool off. 

"We paid top dollar for out-of-towners," Nickel said.

At Western Boat Shop of Third Street, Pat Dodds said hot weather is good for business.

"People want to get outside and go fishing," Dodds said. 

A heat advisory has been put into effect until 8 p.m. recommending that the elderly, ill and other vulnerable individuals should take precautions.

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has declared a "spare the air" day, asking residents to drive less and reduce their energy consumption.
