Rain tonight and tomorrow, 11/20-21
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
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
