A high-pressure system is set to bring hot, dry conditions to the North Bay this weekend, with temperatures expected to peak near 100 degrees in places like Sonoma and St. Helena. The Press Democrat reports meteorologists expect the warmest weather Friday through Sunday, though light winds should help limit critical fire danger. Residents are advised to complete outdoor work early in the morning, stay hydrated, and take frequent breaks in the shade. Meanwhile, beachgoers face hazardous ocean conditions through the weekend as swells from Hurricane Gil bring a high risk of dangerous sneaker waves and strong rip currents. Forecasters urge anyone visiting the coast to keep a safe distance from the water and never turn their back on the ocean.
