NWS meteorologist Dylan Flynn explained that the upper air high pressure continues to build and offshore winds are driving this unprecedented heatwave, marking temperatures not seen since 1980.
Tuesday's forecasted highs across the Bay Area reveal a concerning pattern of extreme temperatures, with Alameda County reaching 104 degrees and San Francisco hitting 91 degrees, underscoring the severity of the October heatwave.
The National Weather Service noted that records set in the early 1980s are at risk of being tied or broken, as places like Livermore and San Jose prepare to challenge previous highs.
The heatwave's persistence is expected to extend through the weekend in hotter inland areas, with meteorologists predicting continued high temperatures that echo those recorded earlier in the week.
