Since June 1st San Francisco has only seen FOUR days with temperatures warmer than average this summer. “Hottest” day so far was last Thursday at 77°.

EVEN WARMER TODAY
If you didn't get a chance to enjoy yesterday's warm weather, today is going to be warmer. We keep it spring-like for another day with highs going into the 70s and 80s!😎

PICTURE PERFECT
Sunny skies and warm temperatures today will make it feel like spring! Likely the first 70° day this year in San Francisco😎

The last seven days have been very rainy across Northern California. A look at the rainfall totals across the Bay Area. Some areas have seen more than a foot of rain in the North Bay.

Rain is back today! LiveDoppler7 showing you our storm on approach with rain returning to your neighborhood by 8am this morning. Rain will be on and off all day. Winds will be strong this afternoon with gusts 25-50mph. This is a level 2 moderate storm on the Storm Impact Scale.

If you have the ability to work from home, today would be perfect day to do it. Heavy rain this morning has already led to numerous roads seeing flooding. More heavy rain and strong winds arrive later this afternoon. Worst of the storm will be between 1pm-7pm today.

FLOOD RISK SATURDAY
As our soil becomes saturated Friday, heavier rain on Saturday could lead to nuisance flooding on roads and smaller streams and creeks. The entire Bay Area is outlined for the increased risk of flooding Saturday.

STORM PREPS TODAY
Get everything in order: clear those gutters/storm drains, secure outdoor objects, check/trim trees. Rain returns Friday and intensifies Saturday with a moderate strength atmospheric river. Winds will also be gusty Saturday morning between 20-40mph.

Good idea to start those storm preps today and finish by tomorrow night. Bring in the patio furniture, secure and cover outdoor items, make sure gutters/drains are free and clear. Once the rain arrives Friday it will likely continue on and off through much of next week.

TRENDING WETTER
Rain returns Friday morning with light showers throughout the day. Our stormy pattern will likely stick around into most of next week and the latest guidance has some of the heaviest rain falling across the Bay Area. An early look at rainfall totals next 7 days.

Confidence is growing that rain will return by the end of the week and stick around for several days. The Climate Prediction Center has place much of the west under a better than average chance of seeing a stormy pattern return as we head into February.

San Francisco is one of the warmest places in the entire U.S. this morning

California is experiencing strong offshore winds next few days🌬️Bay Area will see gusts 30-50mph. Across Southern California a rare January Red Flag Warning is posted. Winds in the mountains of LA/Ventura county could gust near 100mph creating life-threatening extreme fire danger

Arctic air has take over much of the county except for California. San Francisco will be just as warm as Miami today.

Tonight through Wednesday LIFE THREATENING winds

Strongest wind event since 2011; north/ northeast offshore flow will take down trees and power lines,

Burbank, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Glendora all in extreme risk with mountain wave winds (amazing mixing of upper level winds down to surface).

Our snow pack is in much better shape than last year. 1st snow survey of the season found a snow pack 91% of average (contrast that to just 35% of average same time last year). Northern Sierra better than Southern Sierra due to storm track favoring Northern California (4/4)

Southern California has barely seen any rain this season. Cities like Los Angeles and San Diego are significantly dry this year. A rare January Red Flag Warning will be in effect this week due to very dry conditions and winds gusts 50mph+. (3/4)

The Bay Area is in decent shape this winter. Many cities are above average/near average for rainfall totals. However, San Jose is running below average due to the storm track favoring the North Bay (think flooding rains from weeks past). (2/4)

WINTER RAINFALL CHECK
Massive contrast in rainfall totals across California so far this winter as the storm track has favored the northern half of the state. Places across Southern California have barely seen a drop of rain this season (1/4)

trying to!

Air quality is terrible this morning. A combo of folks burning their fireplaces to stay warm overnight/light winds/ heavy dense cold air trapping everything at the surface. Better AQI tomorrow with the incoming rain.

RAIN RETURNS TONIGHT
Our weeks long dry stretch will come to an end later this evening with a level 1 light storm on the ABC7 storm impact scale. While the sun is up Wednesday we will remain dry. Steadiest rain occurs around midnight. .25" - .75" total rainfall expected.

ONE MORE WET MORNING

We have scattered showers this morning that will end later this afternoon.

Skies will clear overnight tonight for a sunny and dry pattern starting tomorrow.

Having Thanksgiving outside? You'll be good to go with full sunshine on Thursday

MORNING SHOWERS

LiveDoppler7 showing light rain falling across most of the Bay Area this morning.

There is no risk for flooding like we saw last week but you will see standing water on our roads leading to slower travel times.

Best chance for rain will be before noon today.

Heaviest rain ends by 10pm tonight

Our atmospheric river is finally on the move!

LiveDoppler7 showing heavy rain is moving across much of the Bay Area this morning.

Expect the heaviest rain to actually fall outside of the North Bay this afternoon and evening where we expect 1"-3"+ across San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose.

Hi everyone :) Excited to be here and update everyone on Bay Area weather☀️🌧️❄️

I agree….this has been a crazy storm for Santa Rosa. Tried to highlight that fact in the north bay in my forecasts. Maybe going forward we give different numbers to different parts of the Bay Area
