The Bay Area is experiencing the final phases of a weak atmospheric river, with additional isolated rain expected on Monday. The National Weather Service noted variability in rainfall amounts across the region, including significant totals of two inches in some areas. After Monday, the atmospheric river will dissipate, giving way to a new weather pattern from the Gulf of Alaska that could bring additional beneficial rainfall, albeit lighter, by midweek. This transition promises some respite from the recent wet conditions, while underscoring the ever-changing nature of Bay Area weather.
As the rain is set to fall again on Monday, the National Weather Service indicates the Bay Area's latest wet period may soon be over.
This current system is the last in a weak atmospheric river pattern that has brought rain steadily since last Tuesday, dropping isolated but heavy showers.
By 7 a.m., the weather service's 24-hour rainfall totals reflected significant accumulation across the region, indicating varied impacts from the recent rain.
The departure of this rain will mark the end of the atmospheric river pattern, paving the way for a new system from the Gulf of Alaska.
