A relentless heat wave continues to bake most of the U.S., with numerous areas expected to see record-breaking temperatures.
Locally, the National Weather Service said a heat wave peaking Saturday will give way to slightly cooler Bay Area weather on Sunday that will continue into early next week. “We should start to see a slight cooling trend tomorrow with temperatures about four to five degrees cooler in most areas,” NWS meteorologist Rachel Kennedy said.
Bay Area cities with the highest temperatures on Saturday include Livermore with 101 degrees and Concord 98 degrees, but those are expected to cool down to 93 degrees and 86 degrees by Sunday, remaining the same Monday
However for the rest of the country forecasters were warning there would likely be little relief through the weekend for most areas. The steamiest conditions on Friday were expected in parts of Ohio and Indiana, where heat indexes were expected to soar past 100 degrees Fahrenheit and remain there most of the day. But the Midwest was not the only area being baked, as heat warnings and advisories have been issued across the northeast, the mid-Atlantic and in some western states. Idaho officials said Friday that two people in their 60s had died of heat-related causes.
