Warming Trend Brings Hazardous Beach Conditions to Bay Area
The National Weather Service has announced a warming trend for the Bay Area, with high pressure building over the region. Temperatures are expected to rise to the mid-to-upper 70s in interior areas, with some locations like the southern Santa Clara Valley and inland Central Coast reaching the 80s. Alongside the warming trend, hazardous beach conditions are forecast from Thursday through Saturday, including sneaker waves, rip currents, and breaking waves between 12 to 16 feet high. Additionally, a Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect from 6 a.m. Wednesday through 1 p.m. Monday, with low-lying areas near San Francisco, San Pablo, and Monterey bays potentially experiencing up to 1.6 feet of inundation. While no rain is expected in the short term, meteorologists anticipate wet weather returning by mid-to-late next week.
