Beginning late Tuesday, a high pressure system is forecasted to start building across the Bay Area, bringing temperatures of up to 90 degrees to some inland regions Wednesday.
Northern California has experienced an above average number of hot weather periods during the past twelve months.
"Those really warm spots by Thursday across the interior could reach the low 90s, meanwhile the coastal areas should be in the mid to upper 70s, even a few low 80s in some of the warmer spots," National Weather Service Meteorologist Roger Goss told KCBS Radio. "All in all it’s pretty warm for this time of year."
Goss said the Bay Area has experienced one heatwave a month since February.
"When high pressure dominates the region, we stay in a dry weather pattern and occasionally the right setup occurs when that high pressure really builds right over central California," he explained. "We start to see temperatures warm up to well above average. The warm temperatures and the dry conditions definitely go hand-in-hand in most cases."
NWS wrote in a Twitter post that forecasters will have a better idea of how hot each Bay Area county will get further into the week.
