Temperatures around the Bay Area will spike starting today, with some areas, including Contra Costa County hitting triple digits, forecasters said.
A high pressure system will bring moderate heat risk for some inland communities Tuesday through Friday, the National Weather Service said.
Wednesday and Thursday are forecast to be the warmest days, with high temperatures 5 to 15 degrees above average at areas away from the coast.
High temperatures in the 90s to 103 are expected inland, and in the 80s near San Francisco Bay.
Friday will mark the beginning of cooler temperatures, the weather service said.
The warming trend prompted air district officials to call for a Spare the Air Alert on Tuesday and Wednesday.
NOOOOoooooooo!

I guess I have no choice in the matter, I’ll swelter in place in front of the TV with an ice bucket of cold beer, the AC cranked and a personal fan blowing directly on me …… then scream obscenities when I see the PG&E bill.
