Martinez Under Heat Advisory Tuesday

MARTINEZ, CA — A National Weather Service heat advisory is in effect from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday for a huge swath of the Bay Area, including Martinez, with temperatures reaching the 90s around the Bay and the low 100s in the interior valleys of the East Bay.

The advisory is in effect for the North Bay interior mountains, East Bay interior valleys and hills, the hills of eastern Santa Clara County, southern Salinas Valley and Lake San Antonio, the Santa Lucia Mountains and Los Padres National Forest, and the mountains of San Benito County and interior Monterey County, including Pinnacles National Park.

In Martinez, the high temperature was expected to reach 101 degrees Tuesday, according to AccuWeather.

"Sunny with near-record temperatures; danger of dehydration and heat stroke if outside for extended periods of time," AccuWeather forecasters said.

According to the National Weather Service, widespread high temperatures of 100 to 105 degrees are likely across inland areas which may impact those who are sensitive to the heat.

"Sensitive populations such as the elderly, infants, and those without access to air conditioning will likely be susceptible to heat-related illnesses," the National Weather Service said. "Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true during warm or hot weather when car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes."

Cooler conditions are expected by the weekend.
