A key component of a normal Bay Area morning was missing Tuesday, and it signaled as much as anything that a heat wave expected to kick off the summer weather pattern was progressing as scheduled. We don't have the marine layer, National Weather Service meteorologist Nicole Sarment said. We're clear of that everywhere.
Temperatures are expected to hit the mid-to-high 90s in most areas of the East Bay. Concord is expected to reach 97 degrees and Walnut Creek 96. Livermore is expected to top out at 95 degrees, the top spot in Alameda County, while San Jose is expected to get as high as 93 degrees.
A heat advisory for the East Bay hills and interior valleys, as well as the Sonoma coastal range and North Bay interior region and hills was in effect Tuesday. Waves breaking at 15-20 feet are expected among the Bay Area's coast and the Big Sur coastline.
A tiny bit of relief is expected come Friday when the effect of two low-pressure systems further out over the Pacific Ocean begin to have an effect, Sarment said. Those will keep the high pressure from dominating, she said.
