A flood watch that was in effect for most of the Bay area has expired, but storms are still passing through.
There is abundant moisture in our atmosphere that will still be with us for about 24 more hours.
Therefore expect some scattered storms through the overnight into early Tuesday morning.
There will be a brief lull for a few hours overnight, but some spots will wake up to storms in the morning.
Lows will be in the mid to upper 70s.

Tuesday will feature another mostly cloudy day with a 60 percent coverage of scattered storms. They will all have a northward movement when they form. Highs will be in the upper 80s to near 90.
Drier air will move in Wednesday, dropping our rain chance back down to about 40 percent at that time.
Lower rain chances are forecast for Wednesday and Thursday with light winds and the sea breeze is the only trigger for rain. Moisture values stay high so we keep in a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. It will be hot and humid with highs in the lower 90s.
Labor Day weekend looks pretty typical with about a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms each day.
With one day left in August, we are already the third wettest August on record with 16.43 inches of rain.
That is almost 9 inches above normal.
With the potential for heavy rainfall today, Tampa could end up as the wettest July/August combined since records began in 1890.
