Later this week, temperatures will linger in the low- to mid-50s, with overnight lows dropping to the low- to mid-40s. Similarly, San Francisco reached a high of 64 degrees on Saturday but will only reach 56 degrees on Sunday, while highs in Oakland went from 67 to 58 degrees. Santa Rosa saw more than a 10-degree drop between its highs of 68 degrees on Saturday and 55 degrees on Sunday. While the Bay Area will see considerably less rainfall and wind, a cold front pushing through the region has contributed to plummeting temperatures that will persist throughout the week. The weather service is also watching for “strong and potentially damaging south to southwest winds.” Peak gusts are forecast to reach 85 mph in Lucerne Valley, 74 mph in Palm Springs and between 40 and 60 mph along the coastline. San Diego County will also get moderate to heavy rainfall Tuesday, ranging anywhere from 1 to 4 inches. #cawx #larain /vwi6yedSKU- NWS Los Angeles March 17, 2023 Expect plenty of water, rocks, mud on roads, and minor urban and creek flooding.

“Expect plenty of water, rocks, mud on roads, and minor urban and creek flooding.” “This will be a soggy first half of the week, with many hours of light to moderate steady rain,” the weather service’s Los Angeles office tweeted Friday. Los Angeles County is bracing for more wet and windy weather as the brunt of the upcoming system is forecast to bring 1 to 3 inches of rain along the coasts and valleys and as much as 2 to 5 inches of rain on the highest peaks. #CAwx #BayAreaWX #CArain /2dkPq29YEW- NWS Bay Area 🌉 March 19, 2023Įvacuation orders were already issued for Airport Court and Haven Acres in San Joaquin County on Saturday after the gauge in the San Joaquin River “reached the danger stage” due to rising water levels, causing a lack of accessibility to roadways and safety hazards for first responders, according to a statement released by the county’s Office of Emergency Services. Both wind and rain will diminish Sunday afternoon. Breezy and gusty winds will also continue. Look for light to moderate rain to continue across the Bay Area and Central coast through the remainder of the morning. “There could be minor roadway flooding as well.” “Given how saturated soils are, it’s easier for trees and power lines to fall, which could lead to more outages,” McCorkle said. McCorkle anticipates rainfall totals will be similar to what the region experienced over the weekend - up to an inch of precipitation across most of the Bay Area, 2 inches in the Santa Cruz Mountains and up to 3 inches in the Santa Lucia Range - though gusts of wind of 20 to 30 mph are cause for some concern. The weather service is tracking a plume of moisture - another atmospheric river event - that is headed just south of Monterey County and is expected to lightly graze the Bay Area, bringing the next sign of rain Monday night into Tuesday night. “That was a typical light winter system, not anything like what we’ve been experiencing in the last couple of months,” she said.
