Fog and Friday Freshness
• Sunday sky watching: Tropical moisture from Hurricane Elida (well offshore and not a direct threat to California) combines with monsoon moisture to increase mid and high clouds Sunday into early next week. At this point, the forecast favors more clouds rather than rain, since the atmosphere still lacks enough instability for thunderstorms.

Cooler but high fire danger remains
A massive weather transition begins tonight as the current interior heat wave is replaced by an expanding, 1,500-foot marine layer by the weekend. This shift brings relief from hot temperatures, but introduces a brand-new wildfire lightning watch for early next week. Thursday Forecast • The Big Drop: The extreme heat wave officially ends tomorrow. A deep Pacific Northwest storm trough is moving toward the coast, forcing a surge of cooler ocean air inland.. • The Numbers: Temperatures across the interior will drop significantly, falling right back to comfortable, mid-July seasonal averages. Thursday's span from 63 at the Coast to 90 Inland.. Critical Fire Danger & Weekend Wind • Tonight's Threat: Elevated fire weather conditions remain critical across the interior and higher terrain through Thursday night. Mountain ridges are enduring roasting heat up to 20 degrees above normal, paired with bone-dry humidity.. • The Wind: Strong, punchy afternoon and evening onshore winds will remain breezy through Friday, howling through mountain passes like the Altamont Pass and Salinas Valley. Avoid any outdoor activity that could spark a flame. Winds 10-20 mph with occasional gusts to 30 mph.. Long-Range Outlook: Renewed Lightning Watch Next Week: A strong onshore wind pattern will lock in through the weekend, deepening the marine fog layer to a steady 1,500 feet. Expect near-to-below-normal temperatures and gray morning overcast that retreats to the beaches by lunchtime. • The Tropical Shift: We are monitoring a heavy pulse of tropical monsoon moisture surging north around a high-pressure system. • Dry Lightning Threat: While the heaviest threat of severe thunderstorms has shifted slightly eastward over the Sierra Nevada for Sunday and Monday, a thick deck of mid-to-high level tropical clouds will stream over the Bay Area. Any high-based storm that develops over the parched local hills will trigger dangerous dry lightning strikes capable of sparking sudden wildfires
