Its arriving win a lot of people are sleeping and thats good, but it still can definitely make for some wet conditions at times in the cloudier skies and cooler temperatures to those are bound to have an impact as well to happened after exactly of the rain is a good thing in fact would like to see some more of it and we do have even more of it. In the week to come after the weekend so were actually talking a pretty active forecast as we make our way through your next 7 days now today, a noticeable change from where we have been and yesterday was certainly a day of transition. Today we see temperatures very chilly, especially for afternoon hours compared to where we had been from the 80s in some cases to the 50s some cases today. Cloudy skies overhead from berkeley right here not really any fog just some low cloud cover that is pushed on into the bay area during overnight hours you can see that in stormtracker 4 we do remain dry today but in future cast that does change as this low pressure area and sinking area of cooler air really begins to push in during the evening hours tonight that resulting in the cooler temperatures the cloud cover and as we move into tomorrow this showers widespread across the bay area on into tomorrow morning. So if you are making a drive during the hours of 4 to 10 00am tomorrow morning. These hours right here is when youre most likely to run into any sort of widespread rainfall look at snow in the Sierra Nevada really spreading into the afternoon. So if youre heading up into the sea air tomorrow youre going to be encountering that my recommendation is if you have plans in this year this weekend. Why not just go drive up there today, its going to be dry than you can enjoy the snow tomorrow, not worry so much about driving and working our way on into sunday skies, drying back out before monday and tuesday, bringing even more rainfall now the system is trending further south of the bay area. This means the further south in the bay that you had the more likely you are to see rain on both monday and tuesday thats not to say or north bay areas wont see it just going to be not near as much nor as high of a potential as areas further south like San Jose Mountain view Fremont Hayward and even the tri valley well snow continues during this 0. 3 early next week forecast. We dry out on into wednesday and thursday before late friday into saturday yet another system drops into the bay resulting in even more rainfall so this is 3 separate systems. Im talking about 3 separate punches of rain that are much needed and will be helping with snowfall in the sierra as well as drought that is creep its way back into the bay area over the course of the past month. Todays daytime highs noticeably cooler only 50s in San Francisco and other coastal spots while other areas holding on to the low 60s in some cases like in burlingame right at 60 degrees foster city redwood city palo alto in woodside each at 61 south bay daytime highs, mostly in the mid 60s with san jose at 66 east bay low 60s for you with hayward in union city right at 60 degrees. The oakland and berkeley not even reaching the 60s today only in the upper 50s the les halpin the ship pittsburgh antioch all sharing the same temperature well, vacaville and fairfield some of warmer spots at 66. Definitely a cooler one today and an even cooler one tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, your best chances of seeing rain those showers will taper off through the day on saturday saturday night dont forget to adjust your clock sunday morning we will be springing ahead monday tuesday, your best chances of rain next week before showers taper off into wednesday and then creep back on in friday into saturday.
