Widespread rain is expected to return to the Bay Area starting Wednesday evening and continuing into Thursday, according to weather forecasters.
Wednesday's high temperatures were expected to remain in the high 50s to low 60s, with increasing clouds and light chances of rain expected by afternoon, the National Weather Service said.
By Wednesday night, weather officials are forecasting a 90% to 100% chance of rain, with lows expected to be in the mid-30s to mid-40s.
A high surf advisory remains in effect through Wednesday afternoon.
As the rain moves in for the Bay Area, snow will be hitting the Sierra Nevada. At least a foot of snow is expected over the highest peaks, according to weather forecasters. Ski resorts are under COVID-19 restrictions, but anyone driving up to the Tahoe region should be prepared for snow and icy roads.
