Heat, haze, hazardous surf
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.

August is coming in hot
Woodside Fire Smoke The Smoke Path: High-resolution tracking shows heavy smoke from the Woodside Fire pushing into the Sonoma County valleys and across the North Bay. Blasting northwest winds of 25 to 30 mph are hitting the active wildfire site this evening, pushing the smoke parallel to the Sonoma coast before dragging it straight through the Petaluma Gap and dumping it into the inland valleys. If you live in northern and western Sonoma County you should monitor the Northern Sonoma County Air Pollution Control District, while the rest of the Bay Area should track the Bay Area Air Quality Management District for real-time air quality closures and particulate safety. Saturday Heat Wave Peak The Sizzle: High pressure over the Desert Southwest is compressing the marine layer and forcing temperatures well above averages. Highs will tick a few degrees hotter tomorrow. Expect mid-60s at the beaches, comfortable mid-70s to low 80s around the Bays, and roasting 90s to 104°F across the inland valleys.
