Rain tonight and tomorrow, 11/20-21

Tuesday November 19th

Much needed ran in the forecast Wednesday night and Thursday.

Today continues dry. Wednesday starts out clear with gathering clouds in the afternoon. Wednesday evening, chance of rain becomes likely rain overnight, moderate to heavy at times. Could have some impact on Thursday's commute as the rain continues into Thursday morning.

Total precipitation of 1 to 1¼ inches likely will help a bit with (but not end) the drought. Last rain was Sept 29th, so we are missing several inches.

Cooler temps likely for Friday

Thanks, Max!

Wednesday November 20th

This is shaping up to be a good soaking rain over the next two days.

Today will be dry and overcast, with seasonal highs isn't the 50⁰s

Tonight, rain develops likely after 10pm. Then rain, moderate to heavy, with winds in the 20-25mph range

Rain should be more moderate Thursday morning, eventually becoming showers. However overnight rain may affect Thursday morning commute

Multiple lows complicate the forecast at this point, but some lighter rain is likely during the day Thursday, Thursday night, and Friday. Winds could continue in the 20-25mph range throughout the period. Some snow showers might mix in overnight Thurs - Fri but no accumulation here, and temps near the ground should stay well above freezing so ice is also quite unlikely although be careful if you have to go west or north, especially into the highlands

Clearing likely over the weekend

Total rainfall could be in the 1.5 to 2 inch range, the bulk coming between midnight and 7am tonight. Not enough to lift the drought in itself, but a good start

Thursday Nov 21

Showers today, breezy. More showers possible this afternoon and tonight

There is a slight chance of snow mixing in overnight, more likely north and west and particularly at higher elevations. Little or no accumulation here in SOMA

Showers likely Friday, breezy, chilly

Long term, the weekend looks dry and partly cloudy with seasonal temps in the 50⁰s by daytime. Showers might be back midweek, including next Thursday, but it's still early so the forecast is not at all firm
