Hazy skies continue across the Bay Area today as smoke from a nearby wildfire creates reduced air quality, especially across the North Bay. A Spare the Air Alert is in place for the entire Bay Area. The weather pattern is turning hotter and drier this weekend as high pressure strengthens over California. Inland communities will see the biggest warm-up, with afternoon temperatures climbing into the upper 90s, while bayside locations remain warm and the coast stays noticeably cooler. If you're planning to head to the beach to escape the heat, use extra caution. A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect until 5:00 p.m. Long-period swells are creating dangerous rip currents and the potential for sneaker waves that can unexpectedly rush much farther up the beach than normal.
