Temperatures in East Bay to soar into the 90s
A ridge of high pressure is expected to deliver scorching temperatures and dry conditions through much of the Bay Area Tuesday, but the heat will be short lived as temperatures begin to taper off through evening and into the next two days.
Temperatures in the East Bay are expected to soar into the low 90s Tuesday, reaching their peak between 2 and 4 p.m, said Steve Anderson, a forecaster at the National Weather Service in Monterey.
Areas such as Concord, Livermore and Antioch are expected to get the most heat, with Livermore forecast to reach 92 degrees.
Temperatures in the North Bay will also be in the upper 80s to low 90s, with Santa Rosa set to reach 93 degrees.
