Scattered showers and thunderstorms possible again this afternoon

An upper level disturbance will move through the area today, followed by a cold front tonight. These features will touch off showers and thunderstorms as it moves through, especially east of the mountains. Expect today’s storms to be organized and affect more areas than in the past few days. Any storms that do form will be capable of becoming severe with large hail and damaging winds as the primary threats.

Be sure to stay alert for any watches and warnings that may be issued this afternoon. High temperatures today will resemble the past few days as well. Cooler along and east of the bay where highs in the mid 70s are expected, rising into the 80s further west.

As the front moves south tonight, cooler and drier air will filter in from the north, setting up a pleasant weekend. Highs tomorrow will be in the upper 70s with clearing skies.

Temperatures fall back a bit for Sunday, with highs in the low to mid 70s under mostly sunny skies.

Expect more of the same on Monday, before another storm system and cold front move into the area as we move into mid week.
