The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (OES) and the National Weather Service have activated their "Heat Warning" criteria for the greater Bay Area due to forecasts for some unusually hot weather in the next few days. It will seem like an early summer for Sonoma County, with temperatures rising to 94-96 degrees on Thursday and then dropping back down to the mid 80s over the weekend.
San Jose = Thurs/101 Fri/98
Concord/Livermore = Thurs/96-97 Fri/105-107
Hollister = Thurs/102
Low humidity is expected, which means a low heat index (it won't feel this hot). Additionally there will be an increased fire risk with the high temperatures and as winds increase Wednesday afternoon.
Remember to stay hydrated and cool, and do not leave small children or animals in vehicles. For more heat emergency tips go to Sonoma County's Public Health Preparedness website at: http://www.sonoma-county.org/health/ph/phpreparedness/heat/
