Our coolest spot starting out in the 30s. By noon time, a lot of cloud cover, limited sunshine. By 4 00, another chilly afternoon on the way. Temperatures below normal for this time of the year only topping out in the mid to low 50s. So the storm impact scale makes a comeback.

Its one of the scenarios that looks like its unfolding where the south bay will end up with no measurable rain out of this. By tuesday rachb we start to see the late showers arrive. Trying to sink south of the golden gate after sunset on tuesday. But its very late in nature. Then watch as this front rebounds back north early wednesday morning. Just kind of sits over the north bay for much of wednesday. Outside of the north bay midweek, there will be a lot of cloud cover, perhaps an isolated shower. But the main rainfall will be north of the golden gate. Take a look. Shaping up to show that the north bay probably over half an inch of rain, but outside of the north bay, less than that. When you get numbers this low, hayward, livermore and san jose, thats why we think there will be no precipitation because that evaporates. A better chance for soaking showers comes on thursday. On a storm impact scale, this is a two. Widespread soaking showers, probably one to two inches of rainfall across the region. Some pockets of three inches. And it will be accompanied by strong wind gusts. Watch as the rain becomes widespread. Were tracking rain probably across the entire region. That will continue even into the evening hour.

Future tracker wind gusts showing you throughout the morning hours, 30 mileperhour winds could be likely. Along the coast, winds as high as 50 miles per hour. Thats something well be tracking if these winds do hold true, we may have to upgrade the system on thursday. Accuweather will show you tomorrow its as quiet as can be. Limited sunshine. A lot of cloud of out there. Tuesday afternoon showers move in, turning breezy on wednesday. Theres that stronger storm on wednesday. A moderate storm on the impact scale.
