Still a Flood Watch…but Drier


The Bay Area remains under a Flood Watch through the evening hours.  The National Weather Service says we could see many places pick up another 0.5”-1” of rain.  However, there may be some isolated areas that pick up 3-6 inches if multiple thunderstorms “train” over the same area.  Because the ground is saturated, those areas picking up the higher rain totals may see more flooded streets.  River flooding also continues on the Little Manatee and the Manatee Rivers.

Some drier air will move in for the July 4th Weekend.  We drop the rain chances to just 30% for Saturday and Sunday.  We will see morning sunshine and a few storms develop along the seabreeze in the afternoon.  With the extra sunshine, it will be a HOT weekend.  Highs will stay in the low-mid 90s!

For Saturday’s fireworks, temperatures should be in the low to mid 80s.  It will be muggy, but the rain will diminish after sunset.
