"If you don't have air conditioning it's going to be a little hard to sleep the next few nights," said ABC7 News meteorologist Mike Nicco.
Normally Bay Area residents can expect even the most sweltering days to be followed by a cool breeze at night. That won't be the case this weekend for folks in the North Bay, East Bay and South Bay, where an Excessive Heat Warning is in effect.
