The heat is expected to to subside beginning on Sunday.
Pools around the Bay Area figure to be filled with people Friday and Saturday as temperatures rise into the 90s and possibly 100s in some places.The first full day of summer arrived on Friday, and along with it promised to be some powerful heat that expects to bake much of the Bay Area, according to the National Weather Service.
As the summer solstice — the official onset of summer — came at 12:50 p.m. Thursday, a high-pressure system was building along the interior of the state — as well as nationally. That ridge of high pressure is a thick one that will allow temperatures to build over much of the state’s interior, Behringer said.
“The good news is that we are still calling this a progressive pattern,” Behringer said. “It’s still moving, so it’ll move out of the region pretty quickly, and it’s still gonna stay pretty comfortable near the water.”
