Warm, Cloudy, Muggy with Low Risk of Dry Thunderstorms and Elevated Fire Danger
Happy Sunday Everyone! Warmer, muggy weather is in store today as monsoonal moisture moves into the Bay Area through Monday. While the chance of thunderstorms remains low, any storms that do develop could produce dry lightning with little rainfall, increasing the risk of wildfire starts due to extremely dry vegetation. A Coastal Flood Advisory also remains in effect during periods of high tide through Thursday, with minor flooding possible in low-lying shoreline areas. The hottest weather is expected Tuesday and Wednesday before temperatures ease slightly later in the week.

Fire danger escalates now through Monday
The tropical monsoon has arrived, with dry lightning threats, coastal flooding and a building inland heatwave impacting the region simultaneously. Highs today ranged from 64 in Pacifica to 94 in Fairfield. • The Storm Threat: Monsoonal moisture is advancing rapidly northward into the Bay Area. • Radar tracking mid-to-high-level tropical clouds and virga (rain completely evaporating before touching the ground). • The threat for dry lightning and gusty thunderstorm wind gusts is active tonight through Monday morning. • While the chance of a lightning strike remains low, any strike could easily spark a wildfire. • By Monday afternoon, a slight chance of actual wetting rain showers. Coastal Flood Advisory (Tonight – Thursday) • Sunday Forecast: Coast cool in the 60s, bayshore 70s, and the inland in the 80s to mid-90s. • Muggy Nights: The incoming tropical monsoon clouds will act like a giant greenhouse blanket tonight and tomorrow night. Overnight lows in the 60s away from the Coast.

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.
