On Tuesday, the National Weather Service issued a Heat Advisory from 11:00 am Wednesday through 8:00 pm Thursday for the San Francisco Bay Area.
Temperatures are expected to be above normal temperatures ranging from 95 degrees to 105 degrees in the East Bay. This will result in potential heat related illness such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

The public is encouraged to drink plenty of fluids and stay in an air conditioned room and out of the sun. Be sure to check up on relatives and neighbors.
