During the dry afternoon heat in inland areas, there will be an increased risk for grass fires, according to Dylan Flynn, a meteorologist for the weather service's Bay Area office.
"We're nowhere near red flag conditions; we don't have offshore winds, and the winds that we do have aren't going to be that strong," Flynn said. "However, the temperature is getting well above normal, especially for inland areas, and grass responds to that very quickly. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday afternoon, we are concerned about that."
Flynn said that heat results from two areas of high pressure in the northeast and northwest that are expected to meet in Northern California.
It won't necessarily be beach weather, he said, since coastal temperatures are expected to remain pretty average throughout the week due to onshore winds.
