A third and final storm makes its way through the Bay Area on Sunday night and into Monday morning, with a 40 percent chance of showers, mainly between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., according to forecasters with NBC Bay Area and the National Weather Service.
Showers could linger in some areas into the Monday morning commute, and the system likely will dump more snow in the Sierra.
Over the weekend, San Jose saw about 0.81 of an inch of rain while San Francisco and Oakland each had about half an inch. Areas of the North Bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains in the South Bay received about 2 inches of rain.
On Monday, showers are expected to decrease to a 20 percent chance, and skies turn from mostly cloudy to sunny later in the day.
Temperatures will still be on the cool side, with highs averaging in the mid- to upper 50s, and winds may cause it to feel cooler in some areas, forecasters said.
The weather service also reported a small-craft advisory went into effect Sunday afternoon covering all coastal regions from Point Reyes down past Monterey. The advisory remains in effect through 3 a.m. Tuesday.
All the rain the Bay Area has seen in the past week has translated to a snowy winter wonderland in the Tahoe region, with snow levels dropping to 4,000 feet early Sunday. The latest system overnight Monday should add only 2-3 inches of snow to the already packed Sierra, the National Weather Service said.
