Cold Front Brings Bay Area Rain, Sierra Nevada Snow
KQED • • nation
Key Points:
- A cold front is expected to bring cooler temperatures and rain to the Bay Area, with potential snow in the Sierra Nevada, following a warm weekend at Dolores Park.
- By Wednesday, temperatures will drop to typical spring averages, with coastal temperatures in the 60s and inland areas in the 70s.
- The storm from the Gulf of Alaska could produce up to three-quarters of an inch of rain in higher elevations and about a quarter inch in low-lying areas on Thursday and Friday.
- Snowfall of up to 10 inches is possible on the highest Sierra peaks, which may help the state’s snowpack currently at 18% of normal, though less than the previous storm.
- The cooler weather may be short-lived, as forecasts suggest above-average temperatures could return within eight to ten days.
