Temperatures around the Bay Area are expected to heat up starting Thursday, Oct. 5, and into Friday, Oct. 6, with above-average seasonal temperatures, according to a heat advisory from the National Weather Service.

Afternoon high temperatures will range between 87 to 98 degrees, with a heat advisory issued for both days, starting at 11 a.m. Thursday and lasting until 11 p.m. Friday.
