Weather alert: A heat advisory goes into effect for much of the Bay Area later this morning as temperatures are expected in the 90s and 100s in some inland areas and coastal mountains.
Meanwhile onshore breezes will keep the coast and bays mild to warm, with coastal temperatures in the 60s and bayshore areas remaining in the 70s.
At the peak of the heat wave Saturday, inland temperatures will rise even higher, with triple-digit heat expected in some places. The heat lingers into Sunday but with a slight dip in temperatures. Gradual cooling begins for the entire region early next week, with temperatures moderating to seasonal averages, the weather service says.
