San Francisco, CA – After several dry weeks, rain chances are expected to return across the Bay Area beginning Friday and continuing into the weekend, according to the US National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area/Monterey.
A low pressure system developing in the Gulf of Alaska is forecast to move into the West Coast late this week, bringing generally beneficial rainfall to Northern California. The North Bay is expected to see the greatest impacts, while lighter amounts may fall farther south toward Monterey and San Jose.
While this system could deliver wet roadways and elevated stream levels, forecasters note that confidence remains low to moderate regarding rainfall totals and timing. Updates are expected throughout the week as models refine the storm’s track and intensity.
Residents should monitor forecasts and plan for a return to damp conditions over the weekend.
