Heat Wave, Search For Missing Teen Leads To Remains: NorCal In Brief

SAN FRANCISCO — As the weekend wraps up, we've rounded up all the stories you may have missed Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday.

But before we jump into Northern California’s top stories: A warming trend that kicked off over the weekend will continue to build over the next few days, sending several inland Bay Area communities up into the 90s, with a couple spots again flirting with triple digits.

According to the National Weather Service, even San Francisco and the Central Coast will see minor heat risks through midweek, with moderate risks lingering elsewhere into midweek.

"Surface temperatures look to peak on Tuesday and potentially into Wednesday, with the warmest... temperatures expected," NWS Bay Area forecasters wrote Sunday. "Heat Risk Levels look to peak in the moderate category with no head [warnings or advisories[ currently anticipated. That said, still expect to see the region's warmest interior areas reach between 100 - 105 [degrees]."

Despite the heat, there is a small chance for rain showers developing across the Santa Clara Valley and Santa Cruz Mountains through Monday, but widespread precipitation or thunderstorms appear unlikely, forecasters said. Temperatures are due to cool back to their seasonal norms by Friday.

Catching up on the weekend, human remains were found over the weekend in Santa Clara County during a search for a Saratoga teen who went missing early last month.

Plus, firefighters got a handle on a brush fire that burned 15 acres in Livermore, and Caltrans is taking out some parking spots on the Peninsula for new safety improvements.
