"The storm door is beginning to open! Light, generally beneficial, rain arrives later tonight for the North Bay with rain chances expanding to the Bay Area Thursday through Saturday. Afterwards, confidence is increasing for a series of storms next week - stay tuned! #CAwx pic.twitter.com/7UyWgko3Dh NWS Bay Area (@NWSBayArea) December 16, 2025"
A Pineapple Express atmospheric river from Hawaii is forecast to target the Bay Area, bringing a progression from light rains this week to heavier rain and stormier conditions by Sunday, December 20. The third in a series of storm systems is expected Sunday evening and could produce periods of heavy rain and high winds that persist several days. NOAA's Climate Prediction Center places an above-60% chance of heavy precipitation along the coast on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. High winds could threaten power lines and air travel. Travelers are advised to consider contingency plans due to forecast uncertainty and impacts.
