Santa Rosa, CA – Residents across Santa Rosa should prepare for a return of rain Tuesday morning through the evening as a changing weather pattern moves into Northern California, increasing rain chances and bringing cooler temperatures.
According to the National Weather Service, beneficial rain is expected to begin early Tuesday and continue at times throughout the day and into the evening hours. While exact rainfall totals have not yet been determined, forecasters say the system marks a noticeable shift from recent conditions, with increased rain chances expected through mid-February.
The National Weather Service said it is still too early to determine precise rainfall amounts or the intensity of the showers. However, the developing pattern is expected to bring cooler daytime temperatures and more frequent chances of rain compared to recent days.
Drivers in Santa Rosa and surrounding parts of Sonoma County could see slick road conditions, especially during the morning and evening commute periods on Tuesday. Motorists are urged to allow extra travel time and use caution on local roads and highways if rain develops during peak traffic hours.
