California clouds are thickening over San Francisco, and rain will soon tap on rooftops across the city as a wet pattern settles in.
Skies stay partly sunny through today with highs near 66 degrees. Calm winds turn light westerly this afternoon. According to the National Weather Service in the San Francisco Bay Area, rain becomes likely after 3 a.m., with precipitation chances around 60 percent and light totals under a tenth of an inch by sunrise.
The steadier round arrives Tuesday. Rain develops by midmorning and continues into the evening. Rainfall amounts between one-half and three-quarters of an inch are possible through Tuesday night. Roads along US-101, I-80, and the Bay Bridge could turn slick during heavier bursts. Allow extra travel time and keep headlights on during reduced visibility.
Showers linger into early Wednesday before tapering. A slight chance of rain remains before 10 a.m., then partial sunshine returns with highs near 64 degrees. Temperatures stay mild, so snow is not a concern at sea level. However, drivers should watch for ponding in low-lying spots during the wettest periods Tuesday afternoon.
Drier weather builds Thursday and Friday with highs in the mid to upper 60s. The broader 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across Northern California into early next week, signaling a gradual shift toward spring warmth after this brief February rain event.
