"As we head into the weekend, that's when things heat up again. Temperatures could reach 78 degrees on Saturday in Oakland, and into the mid-80s on Sunday throughout much of the East Bay hills and in Oakland, Richmond, Fremont, and some nearby areas. On Monday, temperatures are expected to tick up yet again, possibly into the 90s."
"Tuesday is setting up to be the warmest day of the forecast. There's not going to be a whole lot of ways to escape heat on Tuesday. In lots of places, it's the first time you're going to see 80s, much less 90s, this time of year. It's going to affect people who are sensitive to heat."
"High pressure will cut off winds over the coming days, allowing temperatures to rise. These conditions are unusual in mid-March; spring doesn't technically start for another week. The NWS recommends staying hydrated, avoiding the sun during the hottest time of the day, and using air conditioning or fans and leaving windows open at night."
The Bay Area will experience unseasonably warm temperatures starting this weekend, with highs reaching 78 degrees Saturday in Oakland and mid-80s Sunday throughout the East Bay hills, Oakland, Richmond, and Fremont. Monday temperatures are expected to climb into the 90s, with Tuesday forecasted as the warmest day of the week. High pressure systems cutting off winds will drive these temperature increases. These conditions are unusual for mid-March, as spring has not yet officially begun. A gradual cooldown will commence Wednesday. The National Weather Service rates the region at minor to moderate heat risk levels, primarily affecting heat-sensitive individuals. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, avoid sun exposure during peak hours, and utilize air conditioning or fans.
