With Rainy New Year's Eve Ahead, SF Hits 105% of Average Rainfall
"For the rain year to date, which began on October 1, San Francisco and Oakland are both above normal in terms of rainfall, and the rain total is only set to rise further before 2025 is out. San Francisco recorded almost four inches of rain between December 20 and December 27, and that means the city is at 105% of average rainfall for the rain year to date since October 1."
"While Monday and Tuesday will be sunny and dry around the Bay, expect rain to return on Wednesday, which is New Year's Eve. Accuweather puts the rain potential at 91% for Wednesday, with the downpours continuing overnight throughout NYE celebrations into Thursday and more rain expected Friday afternoon. You can expect drizzle and light rain most of the day on Wednesday, with most of the rain coming after dark, and accumulation around one-third of an inch."
"Those King Tides will be returning the morning of New Year's Eve as well, which has prompted a coastal flood advisory. The rain will also put a damper on things in Tahoe, with temperatures at the lake expected to be north of 40 degrees on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, melting a fair bit of that snow. Snow is possible on Friday, per Accuweather, and at higher elevations perhaps earlier."
San Francisco and Oakland have recorded above-normal rainfall since the rain year began October 1, with San Francisco at 105% and Oakland at 103% of average. Concord and San Jose exceed 135% of their typical rainfall, while Santa Rosa sits at 85% after 10.6 inches. Northern California reservoirs are at or above average and the Sierra snowpack rose quickly to 70% of its historical average. Rain and possible snow are expected to return Wednesday (New Year's Eve) and continue into Thursday and Friday, with AccuWeather giving a 91% chance for Wednesday and about one-third inch accumulation overnight. King tides prompted a coastal flood advisory.
