Overview

  • Valley highs climbed to about 87°F on Sunday and are forecast to reach around 93°F on Monday and Tuesday
  • Bay Area residents will see a diminished marine layer Monday morning, bringing more sunshine and highs from the upper 60s along the coast to around 80°F inland
  • Stray afternoon showers and a few thunderstorms remain possible over the Sierra Nevada today through Wednesday
  • A weaker low-pressure system arriving Tuesday night is expected to deepen coastal clouds and bring drizzle along the coast around Wednesday
  • The warming trend follows the absorption of an offshore cut-off low into an eastern high-pressure ridge that has shifted westward over the region
