Inland Bay Area forecast for temperatures in the 90s, 100s this weekend 

(KRON) — Inland parts of the Bay Area have a 70% chance of seeing temperatures between 90 and 100 degrees this weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

Coastal areas, meanwhile, are forecast for much milder weather, with temperatures 20 to 30 degrees cooler than the interior.

“While there is a warm-up expected, [the] onshore flow remains, so coastal/bay regions will be more muted with more heat confined to the interior,” the NWS forecast reads. “In other words, a large temperature spread from the coast to the interior.”

Wednesday’s highs will range from 60 to 80 degrees near the coast and 80 to 90 degrees inland. The inland-most areas of the East Bay could see temperatures hotter than 100 degrees. 

The warm weather is forecast to persist through the weekend, with mid-day temperatures around 70 degrees in San Francisco and 90 degrees in the interior. People in warmer areas are advised to stay cool and hydrated.

Wildfires are also a concern with warmer, drier weather on the way. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, the Bay Area is currently not in a drought.
