Late Season Rain Ahead
Not much change is expected in the weather day to day through mid-week. The weather pattern remains stationary with a big ridge to the west and a trough off to our northeast. These two features are funneling wind out of the northwest through our region. All the while, temperatures are close to normal on average. We’ll see another day or two of this pattern before changes begin to occur on Friday. First, winds will become more westerly, allowing for more of a marine layer to develop with more persistent low clouds and cooler temperatures. We might even squeeze a little drizzle out Friday morning. Then, the ridge retreating westward will allow a weather system to sneak in from the northwest. This unseasonably cold system is looking more and more likely to bring moderate rain to the region starting Saturday afternoon and potentially lingering through Sunday. We could see up to 2” of rain in the coastal mountains and a half inch for cities around the bay. Stay tuned to the forecast.
