Weekend Storm Brings Rain to the Bay Area, Snow to the Sierra

NBC Universal, Inc.

The bitter cold and more rain have arrived to the Bay Area for this weekend.

Saturday will see rain throughout the day. Highs will be in the lower 50s. East winds will be 5 to 10 mph before switching to southwest winds in the afternoon.

Saturday night will see continued rain. Lows will be in the upper 40s. South winds will be 10 to 20 mph.

Sunday will see rain likely in the morning and a chance of rain in the afternoon. Highs will be in the mid 50s to the lower 60s. South winds will be 5 to 15 mph.

For those who want to head to the Sierra for skiing Saturday will need to leave early.

Heavy snow is expected to move in with the possibility of white out conditions into Saturday afternoon.

The same weekend storm that brought rain in the Bay Area, brought more snow in the Sierra Saturday.

That means there will likely be some road closures. The best idea is to check conditions before hitting the road.

Steady rain is expected into the evening especially around the South Bay and inland East Bay where some localized runoff and roadway flooding will be possible especially due to downed leaves and clogged drains. Rob Mayeda has the Microclimate Forecast.
