Amid an extreme heat warning, the National Weather Service is advising Bay Area residents that some parts of the region could receive a chance of thunderstorms Sunday evening.
Forecasters said the North Bay is one of the higher chances from Sunday evening to Monday morning.

The Bay Area is already experiencing triple-digit heat and low humidity. The storms are unlikely to bring rain, meaning the fire risk could increase.
“With air below the potential thunderstorms remaining dry, any rainfall is likely to evaporate before reaching the ground,” the weather service said.
The highest temperature in the bay hit 106 degrees this weekend, at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, the weather service confirmed. Parts of the North Bay reached 102 to 105.
As the excessive heat warning expires tonight, the weather service said, interior areas will be between 80 and 100 degrees.
They add that a slight cooling trend should develop midway through the week.
