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.

Slightly cooler forecast
Your Friday forecast features slightly cooler temperatures. The morning fog near the bay will eventually retreat to the coast. Highs should range from the low 60s near the shoreline to the upper 80s inland. Temperatures will rebound this weekend. Moisture will move into the area from the south. The monsoonal flow will lead to humid conditions and instability that could trigger dry thunderstorms (fire danger concerns Sun - Mon).

The latest on the possible El Nino this year
A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for minor high tide flooding. This advisory is thru NEXT Thusday. A Beach Hazards Statement remains strictly active through Friday 5 PM. Stay off jetties and never turn your back on the ocean. High pressur building into the Desert Southwest, compressing our natural marine layer The Coast: Kept chilly in the 60s under persistent marine cloud blocks. Around the Bays: Comfortable and breezy with highs in the 60s to 70s. Inland Valleys: Warming rapidly into the 80s to mid-90s. I am forecasting 100 degrees from Discovery Bay and Brentwood to Fairfield on Monday. Expect 90s Inland for two weeks. Interior Hotspots: The absolute warmest interior locations of Monterey and San Benito counties have a greater than 60% probability of cracking 100°F Nightly Inversion: While lower elevations drop into the cool 50s overnight, the building ridge will trap heat in our higher elevations and mountain peaks, keeping thermal hillsides stuck in the warm 60s and low 70s.

Fun in the sun, but there is a catch
Warming Trend: Highs rise Thursday into the weekend, reaching 80s - 90s inland, up to 100°F+ in hot spots well into the Interior Valleys, and 60s - 70s at the coast. Hottest days will be Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. Once temps soar, it will remain above average for 15 days! Beach Hazards Statement: In effect through Friday 5PM. A long-period southwest swell creates a high risk of dangerous sneaker waves and strong rip currents. Stay off rocks and jetties and never turn your back on the ocean. Coastal Flood Advisory: Up to 1.7 feet of minor tidal inundation is possible in low-lying shoreline areas. Advisoryis in effect from tomorrow (Thursday for 1 full week!) Storm & Fire Risk: Monsoonal moisture brings a chance of dry thunderstorms and elevated fire danger Sunday through early next week.
