Record High Temperatures Expected To Continue In Bay Area
OAKLAND (CBS SF/BCN) – The San Francisco Bay Area set three high temperature records Wednesday and more broken records could be coming soon as meteorologists forecast more summer-like weather.
Record highs were recorded in Oakland at 78 degrees, breaking the 74 set in 2006; in Salinas, where it was 83, breaking the 2018 record of 81; and Richmond tied the record 75 set in 1988.
Expect more to be broken this week as a strong ridge of high pressure remains in place, according to the National Weather Service. On Tuesday, the service said San Francisco was on its way to its second-longest winter dry spell in the city's history.
As of high noon we have tied one record high so far for the day at Redwood City with a reading of 75 degrees, last reached on this date in 1988. Were one degree short of a record at downtown Oakland with a current reading of 75. Next update after 1 pm...
