Sunday’s forecast: Afternoon and evening storms likely

/ May 13, 2023 at 5:52 PM

Confidence is increasing in showers and thunderstorms affecting the area Sunday afternoon and especially as we get into the evening hours. We’ll start Sunday on a warm note, generally in the mid-60s, before warming quickly well into the 80s by midday. Scattered showers and storms should begin to kick off as the seabreeze develops and moves inland early in the afternoon, and coverage should increase as a front approaches the area from the northeast as we head into the late afternoon and evening. Severe weather isn’t anticipated, but lightning makes every thunderstorm dangerous, so be sure to move indoors if thunderstorms threaten. Winds around a ridge of high pressure to our west will also bring storms toward the coast, as well, so be alert if the beach is in your plans. Overall, it’s not a day to cancel outdoor plans, but have a solid indoor plan B in case storms come by.
