 SUNDAY: The graphic breaks down the best chance for showers and storms over interior western areas and the north, with more of an isolated risk closer to the coast. The idea expressed on Saturday about the risk of slow-moving pulse dumpers that could bring locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding where they develop continues to exist. Storms that form could bring gusty wind. The timing of precipitation development shows an isolated chance in the morning over western areas, with activity increasing in the afternoon elsewhere. Where the sun breaks out in the afternoon, convective showers/storms may develop. Dew point temperatures rise into the 60s over the south and east, and it may become a bit muggy in spots. This increased moisture may contribute to isolated storm development. High temperatures will peak along the coast by around midday. A southerly breeze will develop, cooling the shores with the rising afternoon tide. SUNDAY NIGHT: Most shower/storm activity tapers off as the atmosphere cools, but I can’t rule out a stray shower over the interior. Areas of patchy fog, which may be locally dense where daytime rainfall occurs, are possible. Overnight lows in the upper 50s to low 60s. MONDAY: No changes in thinking here. The south and west have the best chance for widespread shower and storm potential, with more isolated activity further north and east. Showers break out over the west and north in the morning, then over the south and east in the afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted southwestern areas for the potential for isolated severe storms in their Day 2 Outlook, which may likely be a conditional threat based on the amount of sun. Damaging wind and the risk of small hail are the primary concerns. Stay tuned. Temperatures are expected to be a bit cooler in the 70s. EXTENDED OUTLOOK: A morning shower is possible over the south Tuesday morning. Another cold front moves east on Wednesday, bringing the chance for showers. Thursday and Friday appear mainly dry. LABOR DAY WEEKEND appears showery for Saturday. The mountains and north may also experience showers on Sunday and Monday. Stay tuned for forecast updates and revisions with this.
