The National Weather Service (NWS) San Francisco released updated forecasts this morning, signaling a mix of weather conditions ahead. Post-storm showers are moving across the Bay Area today, with temperatures ranging from the upper 50s to low 60s. Rainfall is expected to be light, accumulating to 0.25 inches or less. Higher elevations may experience cooler highs, with overnight lows dipping into the 40s and, in some areas, mid to upper 30s, according to NWS San Francisco.
Some weather advisories have been canceled, bringing relief after recent rains. However, flooding remains a concern, particularly in the North Bay. Central Sonoma County and the Russian River at Johnsons Beach in Guerneville are still under flood warnings. The forecast suggests scattered showers from Sunday to Wednesday, with a possibility of dry weather late Wednesday, though confidence in this prediction remains low due to model uncertainties.
Mariners can anticipate calmer seas and reduced winds as Friday's storm dissipates, but conditions are set to worsen again with the approach of the next storm. The NWS marine report warns of stronger winds and choppier seas, particularly near Point Reyes, a key area for the most intense gusts.
Friday saw unprecedented rainfall across the Bay Area and North Central Coast. Preliminary data shows record-breaking totals in locations like Santa Rosa and downtown San Francisco, decisively surpassing previous records.
A Flood Warning remains in effect for the Russian River near Guerneville. Forestville, Northwood, and Monte Rio residents are urged to stay alert. The river is expected to peak Saturday morning, causing significant flooding at Johnsons Resort, Parkers Resort, and other areas. Roads, including the intersection of Highway 116 and Drake Road, are expected to close. The NWS emphasizes caution with the reminder: "Turn around, don't drown!!"
