People are encouraged to be cautious and take it slow during their commute as chances of rain and thunderstorms enter the San Francisco Bay Area forecast on Monday.
and thunderstorms are about to creep into the San Francisco Bay Area forecast, the National Weather Service said.
As an upper-level system originating from the Pacific approaches the coast of Southern California and gradually makes its way toward California’s Central Coast on Monday morning, meteorologists expect a 10% to 20% probability of rain over Monterey and San Benito counties that will increase as the weather system moves north. Once it reaches the Bay Area, a 15% to 25% chance of isolated showers, as well as thunderstorms, are in the forecast across much of the region through Monday night.
“We are going to see conditions become more unsettled,” Roger Gass, a meteorologist for the weather service, said over the phone Sunday. “Many areas are expected to see less than a tenth of an inch of rainfall as a whole, and those chances are widespread across most of the region. However, wherever a shower does develop, we could see rainfall amounts approaching a quarter of an inch or greater, especially if thunderstorms do occur.
Those potential thunderstorms are most likely along the Central Coast, in Santa Cruz County and farther south, but they’ll be sporadic, Gass said. Chances of rain overall are expected to last until early Tuesday morning. Temperatures below the seasonal average, with lows in the mid-50s, are forecast to persist throughout the rest of the week.
After a warm weekend, unsettled weather returns early next week. From Monday into Tuesday there is a 15%-35% probability of rain showers & 15%-20% probability of thunderstorms across the region as an upper level low develops off of the central California coast. Stay tuned!
