(KRON) – Skies remained mostly clear across the Bay Area on the Fourth of July, and stratus returned overnight.
Saturday
Low pressure continues to dominate Bay Area weather with temperatures near or below seasonal averages. Low temperatures this morning dropped into the upper 40s to the middle 50s for the lower elevations and up to the lower 60s for the highest peaks. A few degrees of warming are possible today as low pressure starts to erode, but the overall pattern remains similar, with highs in the middle 70s to the lower 80s in the inland valleys, to middle 60s to lower 70s near the bay, and the upper 50s to the middle 60s at the Pacific coast. Breezy and gusty afternoon winds will develop across the Bay Area.
ICYMI: Watch fireworks from around the Bay AreaThrough next Thursday
On Sunday, a cutoff low will split from the remnants of the trough and set up just off our coastline, leaving temperatures cooler than the seasonal averages into the early part of next week. The marine layer will also expand, allowing stratus to intrude further inland, while a breezy onshore flow continues with a southerly component, although the wind gusts are not expected to be as strong as those seen yesterday and today.
Low pressure will weaken and meander northward late Monday into Tuesday, allowing a ridge over the Desert Southwest to build and start a warming trend. This event looks to be similar to our recent previous warm periods, where the coastal regions remain relatively cool while the interior regions heat up. By the end of the upcoming work week, temperatures near 100 are possible in the warmest spots, leading to areas of Moderate HeatRisk, corresponding to a moderate risk for heat-related illnesses for populations sensitive to heat. Some uncertainty still remains regarding the evolution of the low and the evolution of the ridge, so check back with KRON4 for the latest updates as the long-range heat potential is refined through the next few days.
