Bay Area chill to be lifted by another approaching atmospheric river system
"We're going to have very cold temperatures again (Monday), but it's gonna start to get a bit warmer Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, NWS meteorologist Roger Gass said. The temperatures are going to get warm with the arrival of the rain. That appearance by the rain is expected to be fueled by an atmospheric river system approaching from the southern Pacific Ocean."
"Gass said rain showers are expected to develop by Wednesday and that they will continue off and on all the way through the first weekend of the new year. This system comes on the heels of an atmospheric-river storm that pounded the region on Christmas with rain, heavy winds, a bit of hail and reports of funnel clouds over the ocean. We do get them this time of year, Gass said. So it's not out of the ordinary."
"The advisory was in effect in the East Bay interior valleys and hills, and the Santa Clara Valley and hills, including San Jose, as well as in the North Bay interior valleys and areas of Monterey County. Those temperatures all are expected to be a bit warmer by overnight into Tuesday and significantly warmer when the storm arrives, according to the weather service."
A cold-weather advisory brought chillier-than-usual temperatures early Monday across interior valleys and hills, with overnight lows in the mid-to-low 30s. Temperatures should begin to warm Tuesday night into Wednesday morning ahead of an approaching atmospheric river from the southern Pacific. Rain showers are expected to develop Wednesday and continue intermittently through the first weekend of the new year. The system follows an atmospheric-river storm on Christmas that produced heavy rain, strong winds, some hail and reports of funnel clouds over the ocean. Forecasters expect 2 to 3 inches of rain in the North Bay; recent storms dropped 3.5 to over 5 inches in some areas.
