Reporter Karina Mitchell, abc news, new york. We do want to take a moment now to turn to the weather because it was an active day in parts of the bay area. A storm rolled through the east bay at about 2 00 in the afternoon. It dumped heavy rain and a little bit of hail, as you can see. People heard thunder and saw lightning as well. It came down so hard some of the streets flooded in walnut creek. Now, an abc 7 news viewer shared this video taken right around the same time as the video from walnut creek. You can see there hailstones falling. We can get a better view of them when the woman there just picks one up, holds one in her hand. Hail also was reported in danville this afternoon. So the big question is is that it for this weather system . Lets check in knew with meteorologist drew tuma. Drew . Yeah, it was really an active day, especially earlier this morning. We had numerous lightning strikes, especially in the north bay, and then that weather shifted into the east bay, into the afternon with those thunderstorms you saw in that video. Hail, heavy downpours, flooding. That storm system has now moved out to the east, and calmer conditions have prevailed tonight. Live doppler 7 right now giving the active sweep. It was tracking all the action earlier. Tonight it is showing you a pretty quiet picture as the storms, they have moved out. Numbers right now, its still mild and its still pretty muggy out there. Were at 62 in oakland. The same in san jose. Down to 59, though, in the city. 61 in san ramon and napa coming in at 59 degrees. Heres live doppler 7 along with satellite. The story we are tracking. An area of low pressure that has moved into Northern California today brought several thunderstorms. You can see tons of lightning, especially early this morning between 3 00 a. M. And 6 00 a. M. I know a lot of you were telling me on social media you heard the thunder, you saw the lightning. It woke you up earlier this morning. And then we had another round, a second round of thunderstorms moved through the east bay. Now you can see a lot of that action is out of here. And we can see dryer skies moving in. So overnight tonight numbers, theyre not falling too far from where they are right now. Well stay in the low to mid 50s. It still remains on the muggy side. And well hang on to a lot of that cloud cover and fog along the coastline. Now, tomorrow it is a quieter day. There are no storms in the forecast. However, well hang on to a lot of that cloud cover. So it will remain partly sunny throughout much of our sunday tomorrow. And temperatures will top out in the low 60s along the coast. A lot of low 70s along the bay shoreline. Our warmest spots tomorrow will get into the upper 70s. So highs to round out the week about 65 in the city, about 69 in oakland. 75 in san jose. 78 the high in antioch. 70 in san rafael. Theres really no intense heat to finish out the weekend tomorrow. However, we are tracking warmer weather moving in over the next several days. Tracker temperatures by monday.

Well find hot weather moving inland once again, going back into the 90s. 70s and 80s around the shoreline. It looks like the heat will around here midweek.
