Freezing overnight temperatures will continue in many parts of the Bay Area early this week before a slight warming trend begins Wednesday, a National Weather Service forecaster said.
After Wednesday, temperatures are expected to return to normal for this time of year, which usually sees lows in the 40s -- rather than in the 20s and 30s as seen in the past few days, forecaster Steve Anderson said.
"It's not warm, but warmer," Anderson said of the approaching weather system.
Many areas, including in the North Bay, the Santa Clara Valley and the Santa Cruz Mountains, have been experiencing freezing and below-freezing
temperatures overnight.
Temperatures in Scotts Valley on Monday are expected to drop to around 41 degrees during the day, according to weather.com. The temperature at noon was 48 degrees with sunny weather.
Temperatures will be in the low 30s during the night, reaching a low of 31 degrees at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
The next seven days should be dry, Anderson said. This weekend will see some areas breaking into the 60s, he said.
