The relentless heat wave baking the Bay Area and Northern California, originally expected to peak on Tuesday of this week, will last into the weekend, forecasters said Friday.

The end of this early autumn San Francisco Bay Area heat wave keeps getting pushed back. When the scorching weather first arrived Monday, forecasts indicated temperatures would drop by the end of the week, but the latest forecast shows Saturday and Sunday will still be hot, especially across inland areas, with widespread temperatures in the 90s.

It will be four to five degrees cooler on average, but the difference may still be be difficult to fee as it will still be really warm Thursday.
