Bay Area sunshine can’t last forever. We’re headed for a cold, rainy week
Sunny skies in the Bay Area will give way to rain, clouds by Thursday, making for a rainy weekend
After a weekend of sunshine and clear blue skies, cold weather and rain are set to hit the Bay Area again later this week.
The South Bay will see light rain starting on Monday, accumulating to around a tenth of an inch, with the East Bay seeing clouds and cooler temperatures, said Dylan Flynn, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
By Tuesday, a cold system coming from the Gulf of Alaska will bring chilly morning temperatures in the mid-30s, warming up to the low-60s during the day.
“It will be cloudy and cooler for everybody,” Flynn said.
Rain is expected to begin in the second half of the week, lasting Thursday through Sunday, Flynn said.
Don’t expect anything as strong as last week’s storms, though, he said — the total accumulation is expected to be no more than two inches. The wet weather will be accompanies by moderate winds.
