The National Weather Service has extended an excessive heat warning through 11 p.m. Sunday for portions of the San Francisco Bay area and northern and central California, it was announced late Friday afternoon.
The extended excessive heat warning applies to the North Bay mountains region, the East Bay hills and interior valleys and the Diablo Range and the Santa Cruz Mountains.
It also applies to the cities of Angwin, Lagunitas-Forest Knolls, Woodacre, Concord, Antioch, Livermore, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton, Pittsburg, San Ramon, Blackhawk, Scotts Valley, Boulder Creek, Day valley, Greenfield and King City.
The warning also includes the southern Salinas Valley/Arroyo Seco region, Lake San Antonio, Santa Lucia Mountains and the Los Padres National Forest as well as the mountains of San Benito County and the interior of Monterey County, including Pinnacles National park.
The National Weather Service is forecasting dangerously hot conditions with daytime temperatures of 102 to 110 degrees expected, with isolated locations potentially reaching as high as 118 degrees. Overnight temperatures will also remain very warm, mostly in the mid 70s, but mid 80s can be expected in the higher elevations.
Forecasters added that the hottest temperatures are expected in the mountains of San Benito and Monterey counties as well as the far southern end of the Salinas Valley, and the mountains of northeastern Napa and Sonoma counties.
1972 it hit 115 in Concord. We seem to be getting these heat domes more often now. Funny thing, look at Pacifica, there temps have been in the mid 60’s. Being in this valley makes a lot of difference. When they made the Caldecott tunnels they should of just careved out that part of the mountain, you now would see much cooler tempatures here.
130 in Death Valley today. Yikes.
It only feels like 120 though.
All perfectly natural. 116ﾟ in Vancouver BC, yep perfectly natural.
