- Expect many parts of the Bay Area — particularly inland metros — to get uncomfortably hot next week. High temperatures in the low-90s are forecasted as early as Tuesday in San Jose, Concord, and other parts of the region... though San Francisco and more coastal areas won't likely see temps hotter than the mid-70s.

The risk for heat-related illnesses will increase for inland areas this week as temperatures warm. Make sure to hydrate and take cooling breaks if you'll be outdoors. Avoid activities during the heat of the day if possible. Stay safe! #cawx pic.twitter.com/hj36hfq1fT
