San Francisco Chronicle • • nation
Key Points:
- The Bay Area is experiencing a sharp temperature drop this weekend, with San Francisco's high expected around 60 degrees, a significant contrast to last week's heat advisory and temperatures in the 90s and 100s.
- Strong northwest winds gusting up to 45 mph will impact the region, especially San Francisco, the Peninsula, and inland valleys, potentially limiting the Blue Angels air show to a partial performance on Saturday due to safety concerns.
- Sunday offers better conditions for the air show with lighter winds and no cloud issues, though temperatures will remain cool, with highs in the low 60s for coastal cities and below 70 degrees inland.
- A broader weather shift is occurring statewide, as Tropical Storm Rachel brings heavy rain, gusty winds, and coastal flooding to Southern California, with tropical moisture moving inland causing heavy rain and thunderstorms in desert and mountain areas.
- The Sierra Nevada is expected to see the season's first snowfall at high elevations by Monday, marking a significant change following the storm system's passage.
