spreading heavy, flooding rain and wind across the peninsula

today. Along the coast there will be storm surge and

dangerous beach conditions. There will also be a risk for

tornadoes. Showers and thunderstorms will spread from the

localized flooding, especially in low-lying and poor

drainage areas. Meanwhile, an area of high pressure will

continue to promote dry and hot conditions across the

Rockies and interior West. There can be an afternoon

thunderstorm in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Montana

and the Dakotas. Along the West coast it will remain cool,
