Scorching Temps Coming Late This Week

Prepare for the heat to possibly reach the low 90s by Saturday.

The hottest temperatures so far this year will arrive in the Bay Area this weekend, a National Weather Service forecaster said today.

The temperatures will rise Thursday and Friday with the hottest day expected on Saturday, National Weather Service forecaster Ryan Walbrun said.

Many cities will be about 10 degrees short of their record highs, he said. Cooler but warm temperatures around the high 70s are expected Saturday in San Francisco.

The South Bay will get into the low 90s, he said.

The National Weather Service advises people to stay hydrated, wear light clothing and avoid strenuous activities outdoors during peak hours.

"Whatever happens will be relatively short-lived," Walbrun said.
