Slow-moving low pressure over the Gulf of Mexico continues to feed some moisture into the region and there is the threat for another shower or two as well as some patchy fog later tonight. Temperatures will stay above normal for the remainder of the work week and there might even be a flirtation with the 80 degree mark for highs on Friday afternoon - just ahead of a cold front. This strong cold front will pass through the region on Friday night - potentially with strong thunderstorms - and usher in a much cooler air mass for the weekend.

First, an update on the weather situation in California…an intense storm closes in today and it’ll produce widespread heavy rainfall across the state with up to ten inches possible in southern sections.

Yet another storm arrives early next week and this one is likely to primarily pound northern California with additional substantial rainfall - something they certainly don't need.

High pressure returns for the second half of the weekend and it’ll remain nice going into the early part of next week.
