We are splitting our weekend with dry conditions the first half and much needed rain coming the second half. Saturday starts with a mix of sun and clouds. High temperatures will be slightly above average in the low to mid-80s.

Sunday kicks off with a mix of sun and clouds. As deeper moisture streams north over the peninsula, the sea breezes are actually set to ignite showers and storms by early to mid-afternoon. Locally heavy downpours, lightning, and gusty wind will be our biggest threats. Highs top the low to mid-80s.

We say bye to March and welcome April with highs in our extended forecast on either side of 90.
