Spring heat wave could break records in Bay Area
A spring heat wave will have temperatures soaring into the upper 80s in the Bay Area this week.

Wednesday marks the last day of our rain season while Thursday begins dry our season.

Both March 31 and April 1 promise near-record high temperatures. Highs Wednesday easily surpass 80 degrees for our Inland communities. But these 80-degree highs are not confined to just Inland -- most Bay neighborhoods warm into the lower 80s while our coast flirts with 80 degrees.

A local sea breeze brings relief to the immediate Coast Thursday. Bay and Inland cities make another run at record high temperatures.

The cooling sea breeze migrates east across the Bay and Inland areas Friday and ends our record heat.
