San Jose, East Bay to see unseasonable heat through weekend

Mother Nature is keeping the Bay Area on its toes as several days of unseasonable heat are set to follow last weekend’s chilly spring storms.

The National Weather Service is predicting hotter-than-usual temperatures all around the Bay Area, with especially warm weather set to hit the inland East Bay and San Jose.

“Right now, we are expecting temps around 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the seasonal average this time of year,” said NWS meteorologist Dial Hoang.

The heat is set to hit San Jose beginning Wednesday with temperatures up to the low 80s. Temperatures are expected to reach the mid 80s in downtown on Thursday and Friday, with heat extending into Saturday before beginning to cool on Sunday and Monday.

“We are seeing a significant warmup today,” Hoang said. The San Jose area is “around 10 degrees warmer than it was this time yesterday.”

In the East Bay, Oakland is expected to reach the high 70s or low 80s on Wednesday and remain in the 80s through the end of the week. Meteorologists expect a “more significant” drop in temperatures as the onshore flow returns over the weekend, Hoang said.

Inland, the heat is expected to continue longer than in other parts of the Bay, extending into early next week. Temperatures will reach the upper 80s and low 90s on Thursday and Friday in the areas around Concord and Livermore.

The Peninsula will see temperatures from the low to mid 80s around Daly City and Palo Alto, while the Western coast near Half Moon Bay is expected to peak in the low 70s. Temperatures are expected to cool down significantly next week, sitting in the upper 60s and low 70s in the east and the lower 60s for the Pacific coast.

These temperatures mark a departure from the Bay’s usual spring weather, with meteorologists announcing a minor to moderate heat risk in the interior areas of the East and South Bays. Vulnerable populations such as elderly and pregnant individuals should take precautions such as remaining hydrated, reducing time outdoors and remaining in the shade when possible. People should not leave any people or pets unattended in hot cars, Hoang added.
