"Widespread showers across the Bay Area on Wednesday are expected to taper off Thursday before light rain Friday morning heralds the arrival of an atmospheric river Friday afternoon. "It looks like it's going to be rainy for pretty much the next week," National Weather Service meteorologist Rachel Kennedy said Wednesday morning. "You'll probably have periods where it is a little bit less dreary and have some sun coming out. It's going to be largely rain, though.""
"That storm is expected to hit the Bay Area on Friday afternoon and deliver moderate to heavy rain through the weekend, with 1 to 2 inches by Sunday around 10 p.m., and up to 3 1/2 inches in the Santa Cruz Mountains and up to 5 inches in higher elevations of the North Bay, she said. Wind gusts could reach up to 35 mph in the Bay Area and 40 mph along the coast,"
"Daytime temperatures in San Jose are expected to peak around 60 degrees Wednesday through Saturday, dropping Sunday and Monday into the mid-50s. Oakland should warm up from an expected high of 55 degrees Wednesday to the high 50s through Saturday before dropping into the mid-50s Saturday and Sunday. Additional unsettled weather will probably continue into early next week, Kennedy said."
Widespread showers will taper Thursday, then light rain Friday morning precedes an atmospheric river arriving Friday afternoon. Most of the Bay Area is forecast to receive two to three inches of rain through Tuesday, with six to eight inches in the Santa Cruz Mountains and North Bay mountains. The atmospheric river will produce moderate to heavy rain through the weekend, adding one to two inches by Sunday and larger totals in mountain areas. Wind gusts may reach 35–40 mph locally and up to 50 mph through the Altamont Pass. Scattered showers will continue through New Year’s and into early next week. Sierra elevations near 7,000 feet may see one to three inches of new snow.
