Cooling Trend Across Bay Area To Continue Through Midweek

BAY AREA, CA – A cooling trend that began Sunday in the San Francisco Bay Area is expected to continue through the middle of the week, National Weather Service officials said.

As of 9:05 p.m. a very warm air mass pressing down to the earth's surface had shifted east of the Bay Area and eased temperatures lower after two days of punishing heat.

Now, moisture from what's left over from Tropical Storm Lidia will produce a chance of showers and thunderstorms across the southern part of the Bay Area through Monday night, weather officials said.

Tropical Storm Lidia is bringing with it muggy conditions throughout the area though, which will keep overnight temperatures quite warm.

Excessive heat warnings and advisories were allowed to expire at 9 p.m. because temperatures on Monday are expected to be about 10 degrees lower than Sunday.

Weather officials said Friday the temperature reached 106 degrees in San Francisco, an all-time record.

By the end of Saturday six all-time records across the Bay Area had been broken.

Meteorologist Roger Gass called the weekend a "really warm event."

He added, "Thankfully it's coming to an end."
