Wednesday afternoon around 4 00, looks like most of the action will be north of San Francisco. The system itself will weaken as it flies to the south. And given its coming out of the gulf of alaska and moving north to south, shouldnt have as much moisture to work with. Notice what happens here in time for santa approaching midnight. You see how skies clear. Whats left of the moisture will be over the sierra, snow showers at times wednesday night. Rain projections, were not measuring inches. Probably less than. 25 inches given how fast this is moving and coming out of a drier northerly trajectory over the bay area. The snow totals here might get close to a half foot of snow around higher peaks of the sierra. As folks wake up at south lay tahoe, truckee, resorts, it will be a White Christmas with fresh powder on the way for the sierra. The impact of the system past wednesday, the chance of rain increasing during the afternoon. Breezy conditions, winds 15 to 30 miles per hour. But look at these high temperatures dropping. Close to 68 in san jose tomorrow. Now youre looking at upper 50s thursday, friday. And low temperatures in san jose close to 40 degrees on thursday. San francisco seeing temperatures committees tore the water. Not as cold, overnight temperatures in the mid 40s. North bay, youll see those temperatures also cooling quite a bit as we see the chance of rain and breezy conditions for wednesday. Those highs thursday through friday for liverpool and santa rosa, dropping into the 50s and low 60s. Overnight temperatures, mid to upper 30s. So the winds are light getting into friday morning or saturday morning. Its very possible we could see a little bit of patchy frost as we head into the start of next weekend. Next weekend for now looks dry. Continued Cool Conditions as we go through next weekend. Another system dropping north to south may try to toss a little more snow towards the sierra. For now, the Christmas Eve storm should be in and out of here during Christmas Eve. The rest of the forecast looks drier as we head towards next weekend.
