Our attention turns to the return of wet, unsettled weather after the holiday weekend. Pattern shift to more zonal flow will allow for a steady plume of moisture to funnel into northern and central CA, which will bring widespread rainfall on December 27th. While exact amounts can still change as we remain 5 days out and there is still a spread among ensemble members, amounts are looking to be around 2-3 inches in the North Bay with higher elevations seeing up to 4 inches. The rest of the Bay Area and Central Coast seeing potentially 1-2 inches with Santa Cruz Mtns and Santa Lucias seeing up to 4 inches. Stay tuned as we continue to fine tune the forecast in the coming days.
And it is most welcome…
Merry Christmas, Kate!
Great news! Hopefully the majority of the people should already be to their return destinations after Christmas. Highway 1 will no doubt be closed, either due to the acutal slides or preemptive closures for travelers safety (read as…liability)!
Happy Holidays everyone!
