National Weather Service Heat Advisory

The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for portions of the San Francisco Bay Area, in effect on Thursday, June 11 from noon-11:00 p.m. Afternoon high temperatures are expected to exceed average temperatures for most locations, resulting in an increased risk for those sensitive to heat, especially those without effective cooling or adequate hydration.
