Excessive Rainfall Possible This Weekend; October Heat Wave in California

A slow moving front will be the focus area for heavy to excessive rainfall and a threat for flash/urban flooding across the northern Gulf Coast and Southeast U.S. through this weekend. Abnormally hot, potentially record-breaking, temperatures will impact southern California and stretch north toward the Bay Area and Central Valley into next week. Read More >

Well above normal temperatures today with showers developing with a cold front later this afternoon into this evening. Highs middle to upper 80s, slightly cooler in the mountains. A wave of low pressure will ride along the front this weekend and bring potential rain showers and cooler temperatures.
As Canadian high pressure builds over the region, near to below freezing overnight lows are expected on Mon/Tue nights. This is especially the case over the Alleghenies, possibly extending eastward to the Shenandoah Valley.
