With highs in the low 90s inland and upper 80s near the coast anticipated throughout the week, Bay area residents can count on another steamer this week. Rain chances are also pretty high through the week, around the 50-percent range, most days, Fleming said.
On the upside, Fleming said those rain chances aren’t likely to materialize until the afternoon and into the evening hours most days. Rain chances go down a bit as the week continues.
