Smoke Advisory, Rain Chances, Serial Groping Arrest: NorCal In Brief

SAN FRANCISCO — As the weekend wraps up, we've rounded up all the stories you may have missed Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday.

But before we jump into Northern California’s top stories: The Bay Area could pick up a few more rain showers Monday as the lingering remnants of Tropical Storm Hilary pass to the east, but forecasters expect the local impacts will be a far cry from SoCal, where the storm arrived Sunday and spurred flash flood alerts and widespread school closures.

According to the National Weather Service, the unsettled weather pattern should keep temps cooler, with more cloud cover and shower chances to kick off the week, and chances for rain will be highest for inland areas of the East Bay and Central Coast. Warmer, drier conditions are on tap to return by mid-week.

Smoke impacts could be an issue for some, however, and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District extended an advisory through Tuesday.

Catching up on the weekend, deputies in San Mateo County made an arrest in a serial groping case, and a Sonoma man with a toddler in his car was arrested in Petaluma on suspicion of DUI and robbery.

Plus, a San Mateo smoke shop could be in hot water after police said they found thousands of illegal flavored vape cartridges during a routine check.
