Richmond -San Rafael Bridge, CA Weather Warnings

Heat Advisory issued July 2 at 7:11PM PDT until July 9 at 11:00PM PDT by NWS San Francisco CA * WHAT...Temperatures in the lower 80s to mid 90s. * WHERE...San Francisco Bay Shoreline, Northern Monterey Bay, and Northern Salinas Valley, Hollister Valley, and Carmel Valley. * WHEN...Until 11 PM PDT Tuesday. * IMPACTS...Those sensitive to heat, such as the homeless, elderly, children, and pets will be at risk for heat-related illnesses. Those without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration will be at the greatest risk. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An exceptionally dangerous situation is expected to unfold over the next week as we enter a potentially historic and deadly heat event for inland areas. Several days of temperatures well above normal will lead to compounding effects among people and infrastructure, with the possibility of numerous heat related fatalities. It cannot be stressed enough that while one day at these temperatures may be manageable for some, an event of this scale, magnitude, and longevity will likely rival anything we've seen in the last 18 years. Heat is the number one weather related killer in the United States. By this weekend, it is VERY LIKELY that we add to that statistic if preparations are not taken seriously. Drink plenty of fluids, stay cool, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Beat the heat and check the backseat! Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes. Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to the early morning or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and/or heat stroke. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 9 1 1.
