Another hot one is expected on Tuesday as high pressure dominates, with highs mainly in the mid 90s. Record heat is (fortunately) not expected. Winds will be south at 10-20 MPH.
A slow-moving upper level low pressure system, aided by a Pacific cold front and moisture from the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Polo, will bring widespread showers and storms mid to late week. 3-day totals of 2 to 5 inches are expected, focused mainly Wednesday night through Thursday night. Isolated higher totals are possible, which could lead to flooding in some areas. Some severe weather may also occur as storms first arrive late Wednesday.
Cooler weather is in store this weekend following the passage of a cold front, with lows in the upper 50s to upper 60s and highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Rain chances will continue as an upper trough lingers overhead, so remember to keep up to date with the latest forecast if you have weekend plans.
It has been a while since widespread heavy rain has been in the forecast, so this is a quick reminder of the difference between a Flood Watch and a Flood/Flash Flood Warning. A Flood Watch is issued when flooding is possible, while a Flood/Flash Flood Warning is issued when flooding (and/or flash flooding) is happening or about to happen.
