I had a light rain around 2:30 pm. It has been on and off since then. This is what NOAA has to say about what we can expect.

“AS OF 3:00 PM PDT THURSDAY…COLD FRONT IS HEADING THROUGH OUR CWA AT THIS HOUR WITH KMUX RADAR CLEARING SHOWING AN ASSOCIATED BAND OF SHOWERS STRETCHING SW TO NE ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF THE SF BAY REGION. LOOK FOR THIS FRONT TO PROGRESS TO THE SOUTH THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. BEHIND IT POST-FRONTAL SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED. HOWEVER BASED OFF THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE PLUS RADAR/SATELLITE LOOPS CURRENTLY FEEL A BIT LESS BULLISH ON THE AMOUNT OF SHOWERS WE WILL SEE IN THIS SCENARIO. THEREFORE…POPS WERE DROPPED A BIT. DEFINITELY FEEL THAT OUTSIDE OF A STRAY MODERATE TO HEAVY SHOWER…WE WILL SEE PRECIP TOTALS THROUGH TONIGHT OF UNDER A TENTH OF AN INCH. SNOW LEVELS ARE QUITE LOW SO ANY OF THE STRONGER CELLS COULD PRODUCE A RAIN/SNOW/SMALL HAIL MIX DOWN TO AROUND 3000 FEET.”

  • Thanks again, Kate the Vanguard. Good to know. No rain at the Hawks Perch but the skies toying with the notion all day, bit of fog, bit of sun, bit of wind, bit of dark clouds, not a bit of precip. Yet. Stay warm and dry up there.
