Bay Area residents, prepare for a sweltering weekend as temperatures are expected to soar up to a scorching 110 degrees in some inland areas. According to SFGate, this is the second heat wave this season, with the latest heat dome being described as "dangerous heat." Brace yourselves, as things are about to heat up!

Starting Friday, a "more noticeable warmup" will take place, followed by the peak of the heat wave on Saturday and Sunday, says Sarah McCorkle, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Monterey office (San Francisco Gate). To add more heat to the mix, the marine layer isn't expected to provide as much relief as it did in the last heat wave. According to forecaster Dalton Behringer, some areas traditionally cooled by the marine layer may not see fog this time.

Alameda Post warns of an elevated fire danger due to this weekend's dry heat, with moderate to major heat risk for the Bay Area, North Bay, and Central Coast. So, if you're planning outdoor activities this weekend, be prepared to take some extra heat-related precautions, such as wearing sunscreen and staying well-hydrated.

This excessive heat warning is a serious matter, as hot conditions like these could cause life-threatening impacts and create major disruptions to commerce and travel. Public safety measures include limiting time spent outdoors, seeking shade, and watching out for family members and neighbors.

As previously mentioned, coastal areas are going to experience cooler temperatures, so those looking to escape the sizzling heat can take a trip to the coast for some relief. Some areas, like San Francisco, are even expected to remain around a pleasantly cool 71 degrees on Sunday (NBC Bay Area).

Fortunately, there's hope on the horizon. Sarah McCorkle shared that temperatures are set to cool down from Monday, with a more significant cooling trend starting on Tuesday. Until then, stay safe and stay cool, Bay Area folks!
