Unsettled weather resumes on Monday with a front stalled to our north, putting us in a region of ample moisture streaming across the peninsula. This will fuel occasional showers and storms, not just limited to the afternoon hours, so it’s best to keep the rain gear close throughout the day in case you encounter a downpour.
