Wind & Rain Ahead

CHRISTMAS EVE: Increasing clouds will keep temps running cooler as rain develops across the Bay Area by mid day. Rain should begin north of the Golden Gate by morning and spread southward into the evening. This fairly fast moving storm will be much drier than recent storms we’ve seen, but potentially with more wind and much cooler. Most of the showers should end overnight, with winds remaining gusty.THURSDAY: Breezy conditions and what’s left of the showers from Wednesday’s storm should be to the east and dropping a little more snow over the Sierra. Highs will be cool with mostly mid to upper 50s across the Bay Area, setting the stage for a chilly night heading into Friday. If skies clear and winds turn light we may awake to many 30s in our inland valleys by Friday morning. – Rob Mayeda
