August is coming in HOT
• Wave 1: This Weekend (Thursday – Sunday): High pressure will build aggressively westward starting tomorrow, compressing the marine layer.. ◦ The Numbers: Saturday inland downright hot, easily cracking 100 - 102.. ◦ Heat Risk: Widespread Moderate Heat Risk will lock over our inland neighborhoods Thursday through Sunday night.. ◦ The Coast Shield: Strong northwest winds blowing over the ocean this weekend will trigger cold water upwelling. This will enhance a stubborn, narrow marine cloud block, keeping beaches highly comfortable in the 60s and 70s while inland valleys bake.. • Wave 2: Next Week (August 5 – August 8 Watch): The Climate Prediction Center (CPC) is tracking an even more alarming pattern as the ridge will rebuild massively by next Tuesday, flashing high-confidence signals for another round of even hotter, extreme temperatures toward the end of next week.. Critical Fire Weather Alert (Elevated All Week) • The Threat: An elevated fire weather threat remains active across the interior North Bay, East Bay, Diablo Range, and Santa Lucia Range.. • The Ridge Factor: While lower valleys will benefit from good overnight cooling, the higher elevations will suffer. Mountain ridges and peaks will struggle to cool down at night, trapping bone-dry air and keeping temperatures warm with near-zero humidity recovery. Avoid any sparks, campfires, or outdoor equipment use. Beach Warning Active • Sneaker Wave Alert: The Beach Hazards Statement is locked in through the weekend. Deceptive, long-period southerly ocean swells are generating dangerous rip currents and sudden sneaker waves along the Pacific Coast. Stay off wet coastal rocks and jetties..
