The National Weather Service said two approaching systems are combining to cool off the region.
A ferocious Bay Area heat wave that set records and swallowed up with ease the region’s natural coolant will cease to reign over the region on Friday.“The far interiors and the usual really hot places will probably still see triple-digits Friday, but you’re not going to see any 115s or 110s,” National Weather Service meteorologist Sarah McCorkle said. “It’s going to be a cooldown that’s noticeable, even in the hottest places.
Elsewhere, the figures are expected to be more mild: San Jose is expected to reach 93, Oakland 81 and San Francisco 72. The air also was expected to be a bit more healthy, and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District replaced a Spare the Air alert with an advisory. An alert had been in place for the previous five days.
“Those systems are working together to squish the high pressure,” McCorkle said. “It’s a very dynamic weather pattern that’s going on right now. The trough to the north is normal, but to see a tropical system moving up from the south at the same time? We don’t see that often.”
