Severe weather Saturday
A Saturday storm provided enough instability and led to severe thunderstorms. Scotts Valley was the site of a tornado. Mark Tamayo has the storm recap.
Dry weather returning to the bay area this afternoon
Following a stormy start to the day, including multiple advisories and a brief Tornado Warning for parts of SF area, the wet, windy weather is moving out. A Flood Watch continues for the North Bay until Sunday Afternoon. A High Surf Advisory until 7 PM for our coast and Coastal Flooding Advisory through the weekend due to King Tides. Snow continues in the Sierra with a Winter Storm Warning until 10 PM.
Stronger storm moving in
A strong storm will produce heavy rain early Saturday morning. A Flood Watch is posted for the North Bay. Winds will also be a factor. Gusts could approach 60 mph near the coast. Thunderstorm chances have also been added to the forecast. The heavy rain Saturday morning will taper to scattered showers during the afternoon.

Unhealthy air across parts of the Bay Area
A thick haze settled over parts of the Bay Area Saturday. The haze layer made it difficult to see our local landmarks. A Spare the Air Alert was not issued for the weekend. Values on the Air Quality index scale still surged into the unhealthy range Saturday. The Saturday temperature profile shoes an inversion (air warming with height) in the lower levels of the atmosphere. This inversion creates a lid and traps the pollutants near the surface. A northerly flow is expected to strengthen Sunday afternoon. The forecast, issued by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, shows improvement in air quality for the second half of the weekend. There could still be some lingering haze in some neighborhoods.
More sunshine tomorrow
Clouds will greet most of the Bay Area Sunday morning. We are expecting more sunshine during the afternoon hours. Highs should range from the upper 50s to the upper 60s. Winds will be increasing from the north Monday. Gusts could approach 40 mph in the hills. Have a great Sunday! -Mark
