Meteorologists said temperatures would be noticeably cooler by 5 to 10 degrees on Saturday. But daytime temperatures this weekend will still be between 5 and 15 degrees above normal for this time of year.

And, they wrote, the Bay’s fire danger slightly increases because of “dead fuels,” dried out from the days of heat.

Next week, Rogacheski said, there’s a chance that the ridge of high pressure could return and bring “some warmer temperatures,” but that’s not certain at this point.

“It will probably be warmer for the first part of next week, but as of right now, we’re not anticipating seeing heat like we’ve been seeing the last couple of days,” Rogacheski said.

Forecasters wrote the next chance of rain isn’t until the end of the month or early April, but it’s “just as likely that another dry heat wave moves in.”
