On Wednesday, just before 2:15 p.m., NWS added a Marine Weather Statement for people on boats or recreating out on the waters from San Mateo Point down to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Residents across Southern California should prepare for a mix of showers, isolated thunderstorms and strong winds through Friday, Sept. 18.

In the Bay Area, scattered showers could pop up after 11 a.m. Thursday, but the most likely chance of sustained rain will be in the South Bay and Central Coast this afternoon. Rainfall totals are not expected to reach the levels experienced in Southern California.

SoCal is in for a wild week of weather with thunderstorms and toasty temperatures bringing the chance of fire starts as well as sudden downpours, forecasters say.

The peak of the tropical storm is expected Thursday, a system that could bring thunderstorms — and even possibly small tornados
