"Unexpectedly, the rain that was supposed to follow the heat's exit was delayed in its arrival, so the lightning expectations that are coating part of the Bay Area were pushed back to Wednesday. So were the hopes that any lightning might be surrounded by substantial precipitation. "The chance for rain continues to decrease as this system moves north," National Weather Service meteorologist Dylan Flynn said Tuesday."
"It's a situation that Flynn said the NWS is monitoring. For now, they expect the earliest the rain will arrive is early Wednesday. The moisture is coming from the remnants of a tropical storm off the Mexico coast and is expected to hit the central coast, likely Monterey County - "That's where I'd put my money," Flynn said - before migrating slowly north."
The Bay Area experienced a major heat spike that prompted a heat advisory and pushed inland temperatures into the upper 90s. Rain and lightning tied to remnants of a tropical storm off Mexico were delayed, reducing precipitation chances and raising the prospect of drier lightning in the central Bay Area and the North Bay. The National Weather Service expects the earliest rain to arrive early Wednesday, likely hitting the central coast around Monterey County before moving north. Lightning is possible in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, while Santa Clara and Santa Cruz are unlikely to see effects. Temperatures should fall 15–20 degrees but humidity will rise to around 50 percent.
