AccuWeather Forecast: Wind gusts intensify overnight as heat concerns persist

Takeaway of the Day
Temperatures are rising sharply, humidity is dangerously low, and gusty winds are intensifying -- causing increased fire weather concerns. A RED FLAG WARNING for high fire danger will be in effect from 11 p.m. tonight to 9 a.m. tomorrow, mainly for the North Bay interior mountains and the East Bay Hills and mountains. Wind gusts will become increasingly strong this evening and into the overnight hours, and low temperatures will be relatively warm -- mainly in lower to mid 60s.

TIMELINE: Red Flag Warning issued as Bay Area heats up with high fire danger

A Look Ahead
Our RED FLAG WARNING will expire at 9 a.m. tomorrow, but heat concerns will persist. High temperatures will range from near 80 degrees at the coast to mid 90s around the bay shoreline to about 104 degrees in the hottest inland areas. As a result, a HEAT ADVISORY will be in effect from noon to 11 p.m. tomorrow for all of the Bay Area except the coastline and the Santa Cruz mountains. Under these conditions, there is an increased risk of heat-related illnesses. We can expect the heat to gradually moderate from Friday into the weekend, and temperatures will settle into a more seasonal range early next week.
