After an unusual dowsing of rain on Saturday, Bay Area residents can expect a warming trend beginning Sunday, with a moderate heat risk for the East Bay and South Bay mid-week, the National Weather Service said Sunday.

A high-pressure system is expected to build in from the west, resulting in a warming trend, the weather service said in an announcement.

With a moderate heat risk, heat-related impacts such as heat-related illness could affect at-risk populations without effective cooling, according to the Weather Service. Levels of heat risk range from zero to minor, to moderate, to major, to extreme.

“You can look forward to some heat coming up in the San Francisco Bay Area,” said Roger Gass, meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

Temperatures around 74 degrees are predicted for San Francisco Monday afternoon and Tuesday, “give or take a few degrees,” Gass said. Temperatures around 92 to 96 degrees are predicted in areas like Livermore and Concord, the meteorologist said.
