From CBS San Francisco: (CBS SF) – As firefighters gain ground over massive wildfires sparked by last month's lightning storms, an upcoming heat wave Labor Day weekend could be followed by windy conditions, again raising the fire risk. "Lots of weather threats this Holiday weekend: Dangerous heat, poor air quality, beach hazards and dry conditions that will exacerbate ongoing fires and be conducive to new starts," the National Weather Service summed it up Thursday. Deep marine layer this morning will keep temperatures near normal today with some minor warming Friday. More significant heat event looks on tap for this weekend with Excessive Heat Watch in effect Saturday thru Monday. #BayAreaHeat pic.twitter.com/3Q76qVEErn — NWS Bay Area (@NWSBayArea) September 3, 2020 Read more at CBS San Francisco
