A dangerous heat wave in the Bay Area this week is about to ease as the weekend approaches.
Much of the region remains under a heat advisory or excessive heat warning until 8 p.m. Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
The heat advisory applies to areas closer to San Francisco Bay, where temperatures could top out in the 90s to low 100s, according to the weather service.
The excessive heat warning applies to interior locations, such as the Santa Clara Valley and the Tri-Valley. Temperatures in these areas could peak anywhere from the mid 90s to 110s, the weather service said.
Normal temperatures for this time of year could return by the end of the weekend, according to the weather service.
