San Francisco Bay Area weather

[NYCTWCjunkie]

A very pleasant overnight period for the San Francisco Bay Area and a very pleasant day ahead as well.
Fair skies and temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s near the coast and significantly warmer for inland areas.

81 for SF? That's pretty warm if you ask me.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT by the National Weather Service in San Francisco on May 15, 2008
AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING is in effect until 8:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time.

This excessive heat warning is being issued utilizing the new heat health warning system. It is specific to the areas included in
this heat warning. It is targeted at the elderly or infirmed, who might be much more sensitive to heat and thus at greater risk.
Individuals who fall into this category should be especially careful by drinking plenty of water and seeking a cooler location
for the day if no air conditioning is available. It is very important that friends or relatives check frequently on those who might
be prone to heat sensitivity.

Also, never leave children, elderly or pets unattended in enclosed vehicles, even for a short time.
Temperatures quickly rise to life-threatening levels even when the windows are partially opened.
