San Jose, Livermore, Napa, Concord, and many other inland areas will be within reach of the 90° mark, which would either tie or break all-time record warm temperatures for the month of March. The reason? A strong area of high pressure is building overhead.
High pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere creates sinking air, think of a ceiling fan blowing air towards the ground. Sinking air dries out as it moves towards the ground. It also gets compressed, which squeezes the air and puts even more pressure on it, which heats it up.
High pressure also spins clockwise, deflecting moisture and storms off to the north and keeping dry air underneath it. Sometimes, this storm track can become stuck and trap the area of high pressure in the same place for extended periods of time.
In fact, this type of weather pattern is becoming more and more common in the spring. San Francisco sees an additional 20 days of above average temperatures each spring compared to the 1970s, Sacramento is 14 days and San Jose seven.
Prepare for the heat this week, and be prepared for more and more hot spring days as the years go on.
