Unseasonable warmth continues to sweep through the Bay Area, bringing an end to a chilly winter that had many residents waiting for a taste of summer. As we head into the weekend, patchy fog in some inland valleys will be slowly pushed out by sunshine, leaving behind a pleasant day with highs ranging from the mid-to-upper 60s across most areas.
But before that happens, residents are advised to take precautions as today marks another "Spare the Air" day due to increased fine particulate matter levels. Despite this, air quality remains moderate, allowing for outdoor activities like hiking and biking.
Tonight will be a different story, however, as high clouds will return and bring with it patchy valley fog that will slow down our temperatures once again. The week ahead looks like it'll be much sunnier, though - mostly sunny afternoons with highs in the same pleasant range we're expecting this weekend.
One thing to keep in mind is that tomorrow will also be a "Spare the Air" day, and wood burning is strictly prohibited. With no rain forecasted for at least next weekend and even further out, it looks like our dry spell is here to stay.
Here's what we can expect from each area:
* The East Bay is expected to reach highs in the mid-to-upper 60s, with a few locations pushing past that mark.
* Inland areas will see similar temperatures, making it another great day for outdoor activities.
* The North Bay will also warm up into the high 60s, providing ample opportunities for exploration and fun.
On the Peninsula, we're looking at highs in the same pleasant range as the rest of the region. San Francisco is expected to reach highs of its own, bringing the city into the warmth that many are eagerly anticipating after a long winter.
Finally, the South Bay will also see temperatures in the high 60s, providing residents with one last chance to enjoy the sunshine before things cool down again.
