Will Dublin Surpass 100 Degrees Thursday?

DUBLIN, CA — Dublin is forecast to see a high of 103 degrees Thursday as the western United States continues to grapple with a heat wave.

Residents shouldn't expect too much reprieve from the heat Friday either, according to the National Weather Service. Friday's high is forecast to be 96 degrees and temps should hover around the 90s this weekend.

Dublin is slated to remain under an excessive heat warning until 1 p.m. Friday.

"[Thursday] will be the peak of potentially life-threatening hot temperatures across the interior as the center of a strong high-pressure system overlaps southeastern California," the weather service's Bay Area office wrote Thursday morning. "Inland temperatures will be near record-breaking highs today, then slowly ease with each passing day Friday through the weekend."

Dublin is forecast to see moderate heat risk, which means people who are sensitive to the heat should take precautions.

The weather service advises residents to:

• Remain in air conditioning.
• Limit strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest hours.
• Not leave kids or pets in cars.
• Stay hydrated.
• Give extra care to the elderly, kids, pets and plants.
• Be wary of hot pavement when walking dogs.
• Be wary of rip currents at the coast.
• Wear light-colored clothing with a hat.
