The same high pressure that gave us our first heat wave is moving back over us again, NWS meteorologist Rachel Kennedy said. It's reversing, and coming back west. The location is a bit more offshore than it was before, so it won't be centered over the Western United States.
Thus, Kennedy said, the temperatures that build in the upcoming days won't reach the levels they did earlier this month, when record-breaking heat settled in for about 10 days. It's not going to be as bad as it was earlier this month, Kennedy said.
The hottest inland temperatures Wednesday are expected to peak in the low 90s and high 80s, while San Jose is likely to peak at about 80 degrees. By Saturday, those temperatures are likely to be in the low 100s in the hottest spots and low-to-mid 90s in San Jose and other areas on the South Bay.
San Mateo and Oakland are likely to max in the low 80s on Friday, while San Francisco is expected to reach the mid-70s. The hot weather this time also is likely to be complemented by some clouds and a decent onshore breeze, according to the weather service.
