California’s gray marine layer hangs low over downtown San Francisco this morning, and the pavement still glistens in spots from earlier drizzle. Temperatures sit near 50 degrees, cool but calm for now. The quiet start won’t last.
According to the National Weather Service in the Bay Area, a 20 percent chance of light rain lingers early today before skies turn partly sunny with highs near 64 degrees. Winds remain light, but clouds thicken again by Monday night as the next system approaches.
Rain becomes likely after Monday afternoon, with a 60 percent chance and light amounts possible before midnight. The steadier push arrives Tuesday, February 24th, when rain chances jump to 80 percent. New rainfall totals between a quarter and half an inch are possible by late Tuesday. Roads along US-101, I-80 and the Bay Bridge could turn slick during heavier bursts. Plan extra time for the commute.
Showers continue Tuesday night with another 80 percent chance of rain. By Wednesday, rain chances ease to 40 percent, mainly before late afternoon. Lingering damp pavement and reduced visibility may slow traffic during peak hours.
