As a high-pressure system continues to expand across the western United States, monsoon moisture is expected to hit the Bay Area in a second pulse from Wednesday afternoon to early Thursday, with low chances of thunderstorms, said the National Weather Service.
The weather service previously predicted a monsoon surge to bring chances of thunderstorms from mid-Tuesday to Wednesday morning, though models show the changes in wind speeds are too disorganized to impact conditions.
This weekend will have dry and warm conditions from the high-pressure system, the weather service confidently predicts. This may mean above-average temperatures and potential Heat Advisories in higher terrain areas, along with increased fire risks.
“Our area will be on the periphery of this dominant high-pressure system and will see gradual warming and drying conditions each day between now and next weekend,” the weather service said.

We knew this was coming. Every year. So, why were our reservoirs drained?
Just what we need right now! Stay vigiliant. Be safe.
Blue skies

Nothing but blue skies,

I consulted my Native American pal, Chief Sparkpah Dubi
“The Rain Maker”…who told me: “If Paleface and Red Man drink firewater till sun come up, Thunderbird will cry from sky make’um grass wet… fire from clouds no burn mountains.
He suggested we wash his car too, so we’re going to try that.
Drove by Briones Reservoir on Sunday. Absolutely FULL to the top!! It is the biggest in the area. It holds 60,500 acre ft. of water. … and a total watershed of 8.5 square miles. I think that translates to about a Bazzillion Jillion Gallons. San Pablo is quite low though.
