Warmer, muggier weekend

Strengthening high pressure over the West will bring a summertime warm-up and increase fire weather concerns. Low clouds will linger along the coast, while monsoonal moisture spreads subtropical high clouds across the Bay Area. For today, expect highs in the 60s along the coast, 70s and 80s around the Bay, and 90s inland. By Sunday and Monday, the combination of monsoonal moisture and limited instability could produce isolated dry thunderstorms, increasing the risk of lightning-sparked wildfires and gusty, erratic winds. Meanwhile, a Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect through Thursday morning. Higher-than-normal tides could lead to minor flooding in low-lying areas along the coast and around the Bay during high tide.

Weekend weather changes you need to know about

1. King Tide Flooding: 1.7 Feet of Inundation A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect for minor shoreline flooding. Low-lying parking lots, coastal parks, pathways and roads will experience saltwater flooding nightly. The advisory runs until 4:00 AM Wednesday morning for the Pacific Coast beaches, and remains active until 4:00 AM Thursday for the inner San Francisco Bay shoreline.  2. Fire Weather Watch: Tropical Monsoon Surge (Late Weekend) On Saturday night through Sunday, a deep plume of monsoonal moisture surges from the Gulf of California. If these clouds manage to spark thunderstorms, any falling rain will evaporate in the hot, bone-dry lower air before touching the soil (virga). This creates a dangerous "low probability, high impact" scenario for a dry lightning storm. Because regional plants and brush are rapidly drying out, dry lightning hits combined with erratic, gusty thunderstorm winds could instantly ignite explosive wildfires. Pockets of high-based rain showers may slide through Monday.
