The Bay Area will continue to experience unsettled weather for the next couple of days as breezy rain showers move through the region.Monday and Tuesday will be dominated by wind, rain and a slight chance of thunderstorms, which will give way to a drying, warming trend starting Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service."The last day of March will be pretty March-y as a cold front will continue to trek across the region from northwest to southeast through the morning hours," according to the Weather Service forecast.
"As a result, expect rainfall to increase in coverage and intensity and southwesterly winds to strengthen and veer."The weather was far from predictable at points Monday afternoon. San Francisco was seeing warmer temperatures and sunshine at around 2 p.
m., but many were caught in a sudden downpour downtown an hour later.Rain totals of up to a half-inch are expected in most places, with 1 inch forecast for the North Bay mountains and along the Big Sur coast.
Temperatures are generally expected to range from the low to high 40s overnight to the high 50s to low 60s during the day.Forecasters say post-frontal rain showers will continue through Tuesday as a low pressure system treks southeastward from Northwestern California. Rainfall will be reportedly based on where rain showers or thunderstorms develop.
1023a📡Update: Showers continue this morning and are anticipated to persist into the afternoon. Isolated storms cannot be discounted. The primary hazards will be brief heavy downpours resulting in ponding/poor visibility and accumulating pea-sized hail.
