Warnings downgraded to advisories – NBC Bay Area

All excessive heat warnings for the Bay Area were downgraded to heat warnings on Monday, according to the National Weather Service.

Forecasters expect temperatures to gradually cool on Monday but remain warm and above average, particularly in inland areas. A heat warning for the coast is no longer in effect, the weather service said.

Daytime high temperatures are mostly in the upper 70s to 80s on the coast, in the 80s to 100s around the bay, and in the upper 90s to 100s inland. Overnight lows will mostly be in the 50s, with some areas even reaching the 60s.

A heat advisory remains in effect for much of the Bay Area with 90 to about 100 seconds of gradual cooling ahead. Vianey Arana has the microclimate forecast.

The heat warning is in effect until 11 p.m. Monday for the valleys and mountains in the interior of the North Bay. San Francisco Bay shoreline; East Bay; South Bay, including San Jose; Santa Cruz Mountains; eastern hills of Santa Clara; and the coastal areas of Marin and Sonoma.

A heat warning means hot conditions could impact people who work or travel outdoors, as well as people who are heat sensitive and have no way to cool or hydrate, the weather service said.

Officials advise people to limit outdoor activities in the afternoon and evening if possible.
