Isolated showers, storms possible overnight Saturday in the Piedmont Triad
We're in a very summertime-like weather pattern that brings the potential for isolated showers and storms in the afternoon and evening, and Saturday is one of those days. Our temperatures will remain in the 80s until the sun sets tonight unless a shower or storm moves through and is able to cool some areas down earlier.
A few isolated showers and storms remain possible overnight Saturday into early Sunday morning, mainly after midnight through 4 a.m. We'll start Sunday morning with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the upper 60s. Sunday will be another warm, summer-like day and afternoon showers and thunderstorms will be possible again mainly after 2 PM. While a few storms could reach severe levels, most of the storms won't. Any of the stronger storms would be capable of producing damaging winds. Afternoon highs temperatures reach the mid-80s. The chance of rain/storms is 40%.
We'll start Monday in the mid-60s and afternoon highs will climb into the mid-80s again. Skies will be partly cloudy and the majority of us will remain dry; however, a stray shower or storm can't be completely ruled out. The chance for rain is less than 20%.
Mostly cloudy skies and isolated showers/storms will be possible again on Tuesday. We'll start the morning in the upper 60s and highs reach the mid-80s again. The chance of rain/storms on Tuesday is 40%.
Wednesday and Thursday also look to remain mainly dry with less than a 20% chance for rain both days. Temperatures will be in the mid-60s in the mornings with highs reaching the upper 80s. Skies will be partly cloudy.
On Friday and Saturday, our temperatures will be very close to the low 90s. Both mornings will start in the upper 60s and low 70s and the heat truly starts to crank up into the afternoon. Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy and isolated thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon, will be possible.

Bay Area breaking records during one of its coldest summers in decades
It's been one of the Bay Area's coldest summers in decades, and across the region, various records have been broken. Several cities have not experienced the typically high temperatures one would expect for this time of year. Downtown San Francisco has only observed two days this summer since June 1 at or above 70 degrees. Normally, there are between 14 and 15 70-degree or above days at this point in the season. It's the 2nd-lowest number of 70-degree days during summer behind 1965. Salinas hasn't been warmer than 71 degrees since June 1, shattering the old record of 76 degrees from 1969. Records for the maximum temperatures stretch back to at least 1940, and the following cities this summer have set their lowest maximum temperatures. It's been decades since it's been this cold in June and July across the Bay Area. Petaluma Airport observed its coldest June and July on record, since 1902, and it's Oakland's (OAK) 10th, San Jose's 8th, and San Francisco's (SFO) 7th coldest first two months of summer on record. In fact, the majority of the population in the Bay Area has not felt this big of a summertime chill so far this century. 2025 has been SFO's coldest summer since 1965, OAK's since 1975, and San Jose's coldest since 1999. To understand why summer 2025 has been so cool, let's take a look at what a normal summer looks like for the Bay Area. Typically, there are the Four Corner's and/or Pacific High that keep warmer and drier conditions in place. These areas of high pressure also deflect the jet stream away from the West Coast, keeping away a lot of cloud coverage and moisture. But this summer, there has been no high pressure developing in the area it normally does over the Four Corners or the Pacific. That's allowed the jet stream, which guides large storms, to move farther south, over California. As storms dipped south, it ushers in more moisture and cooler temperatures. And since the areas of high pressure weren't there to act as a barrier, moisture and cooler weather have been able to persist for basically two months. Now, the Four Corner's High is developing, bringing a return to more seasonable, if not above average heat, to the West Coast. It won't be extreme heat in the Bay, just more summer-like. Cooler and wetter conditions are great for lowering wildfire threats. California is currently in wildfire season, but the additional fog and clouds over the past couple of months have increased fuel moisture. More water in the vegetation means it's not only more difficult to spark, but any fires that do start are less intense and do not grow as quickly. Fuel moisture is forecasted to decrease, unfortunately, as high pressure and drier air arrive over the next week. Interested in Bay Area meteorology?

The Braves take the MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol after rain suspension
A record crowd of 91,032 for a regular-season Major League Baseball game got to see all the pomp and pageantry with the MLB Speedway Classic before the rain washed out the game itself in the bottom of the first inning. Fans returning Sunday only wanted to watch the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds play ball. They enjoyed enough of star Tim McGraw and Pitbull in the rain that suspended the first MLB regular-season game in the state of Tennessee. 'We got to see all of that (Saturday), so as long as we see game today I think we'll be good,' Cindy Lowe of Mount Airy, North Carolina, said. Craig Marcum agreed. He and his family, with three children, were ready to see baseball even if Marcum is the Reds' fan surrounded by relatives rooting for the Braves. They had a good time seeing McGraw and country singer Jake Owen. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Sunday was dry at Bristol Motor Speedway with overcast skies. The sun actually broke through in the ninth inning on what wound up a perfect day for baseball. The Braves trailed 1-0 when the game resumed Sunday, and Eli White hit two home runs leading Atlanta over the Reds 4-2. 'We're really glad that they played the game today instead of last night because we sat here a couple hours in the rain and everybody was saturated even with rain gear,' Marcum said. 'The kids are happy so we're happy.' Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said it was a shame the rain ruined a beautiful evening Saturday, though both teams came through Sunday with a good game and no complaints. 'Kudos to all the fans who came back,' Snitker said. 'I mean after the weather and getting soaked and everything yesterday, it was great. I thought it was a great production. You look back, it's kind of cool to be a part of this.' Organizers also got to show off the fun planned during the game. Fans passed car cutouts of the Reds and Braves for a race through the stands. Two fans tried to hit balls from the apron over the track and fence, and two others had to put on NASCAR fire suits and race to four-wheelers for a race to the finish line. The grounds crew even wore uniforms looking like a NASCAR pit crew's fire suits. And something that never could've happened before at Bristol took part during the seventh-inning stretch: Fans sang 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game.' When White became the first MLB player to hit a home run at the historic racetrack, that allowed Bristol's 'Home Run' car to take a lap in celebration. When one foul ball bounced off the track past the outfield wall in right, the man who failed to throw the ball over the fence to fans was booed. This MLB Speedway Classic was first announced nearly a year ago as part of Commissioner Rob Manfred's push to take MLB to places where baseball isn't played every day live. MLB played a game at. the 'Field of Dreams' movie site in Iowa in both 2021 and 2022. Alabama and North Carolina, too. MLB didn't try to sell every ticket inside the speedway that drew 156,990 for the Battle of Bristol college football game in 2016 with a racing capacity of 146,000. The attendance was well above the previous paid attendance of 84,587 on Sept. 12, 1954, when Cleveland Stadium hosted the New York Yankees.

The Reds are in the chase for a wild-card spot, and this is the last time these teams meet this season. Teams had police escorts to make sure they got back to Bristol on Sunday. For fans, the commute back to Bristol Motor Speedway, billed as 'The Last Great Colosseum' with its history as a half-mile bullring of a racetrack, was easier for some than others. Steven Long of Atlanta, Georgia, was on a party bus to his hotel in Knoxville with a bunch of distributors. He drove the 110 miles back to Bristol on Sunday by himself even though he had hoped to be driving home. He couldn't miss the first MLB game at a racetrack. 'I had to come back,' said Long, who wore his Braves jersey hoping for a win. MLB will be announcing an attendance figure later Sunday. Officials already knew this event would draw a record crowd with 85,000 tickets sold as of Monday. The big question Sunday was how many people would return for baseball itself after the big party that MLB and Bristol threw for fans Saturday. For Lowe and Jason Lawson, this is a moment they couldn't miss after buying tickets in May. 'The history, the nostalgia of Bristol Motor Speedway combined with Major League Baseball all in one I think,' Lowe said. Long was being joined by a couple of friends. He saw one benefit of returning even if others chose not to. 'We'll have more space around us, so we won't be on top of each other,' Long said. Indeed. Fans had plenty of room to spread out, dance and enjoy the capping event of the MLB Speedway Classic. ___ [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
