2 weeks Ago By Emily Johnson
As we wake up to a dreary morning in the Bay Area, some sunshine might be on the horizon. According to the National Weather Service (NWS) San Francisco, after the last of this morning's showers quickly fade away, we're in for a clear-up as the day progresses. For those in the Bay Area and along the northern Central Coast who've been missing clearer skies, today might just finally scratch that itch.
And if the cold has been getting to you, the good news is a warming trend is peeking through the foggy curtain, ready to offer a respite with temperatures rising markedly above seasonal normals through the early part of next week.A look at the short-term forecast from NWS San Francisco tells us that Isolated showers associated with a weakening cold front are quickly diminishing across the Bay Area and the northern Central Coast. While the fog and low stratus will cling on through the morning, the sun should peek through by the afternoon.
Those inland can expect temperatures hovering close to the seasonal averages today, but the coast will see just slightly cooler vibes, so make sure to grab a layer before you head out.As per the National Weather Service, we can officially start to unpack our summer gear because with this "upper level ridge begins to develop across the western United States," folks inland might just be able to bask in the lower to middle 80s come Monday and Tuesday. Don't get too comfortable, as forecasters warn that "minor HeatRisk" could affect those particularly sensitive to the sudden heat, reminding everyone not to forget to hydrate and find places to cool down when necessary.
And for those longing for some rain, well, it seems patience will be required as we look further out into next week. A low-pressure system, making its way from the Gulf of Alaska, might grace us with precipitation by Wednesday. But it's all up in the air right now, with the NWS mentioning that the storm track remains focused on the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia.
