A steady stream of moisture will continue to come in off the Gulf of Mexico today.  We also have a cold front pushing down from the north.  These will combine today to give us a 70 percent rain chance throughout.  Some of the showers and storms could produce locally heavy rainfall. 

The rain will develop in the Gulf of Mexico, push onshore and head toward the inland areas throughout the day.  We are not expecting a widespread severe weather outbreak, but an isolated strong storm is possible.  The biggest threat from these storms will be flooding. 

The extra clouds and rain will keep high temperatures in the mid- to upper 80s today. 

The front will stall out in the Bay area, so we do keep a 60 percent rain chance in the forecast Wednesday.  As we head into the Fourth of July weekend, we do lower the rain chances to 40 percent as we return to more typical summer pattern.
