San Francisco's unpredictable weather has residents eyeing the skies this week as a series of showers and potentially heavy rainfall is set to appear. According to the National Weather Service San Francisco, we're in for a "wet weather" situation through the early work week due to a passing weak trough today and a low-pressure system following closely behind for Monday and Tuesday. In typical Bay Area fashion, however, the skies might clear up just in time for Thanksgiving, with "drier weather" expected near the end of the month.
Today's forecast sees a "40 percent chance of showers after 10am," with the day leaning more towards partly sunny conditions and a mild high near 61 degrees, as per a detailed forecast on 7-Day Forecast San Francisco. Come this evening, the likelihood of rain increases, especially "mainly after 1am," so keep your umbrellas close and your rain boots ready as precipitation chances climb to 60%. However, with less than a tenth of an inch of rain expected, our drought concerns are not over yet.
Heading into the new week, Monday is set to dole out more definitive precipitation, with a 90% chance of rain and the possibility of breezy conditions — winds blasting from the southeast at 13 to 23 mph, so be prepared for a blustery commute. The "rain likely" theme continues into Monday night, with a gloomy low around 52 degrees and "new precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible," per NWS.
The chance of rain continues into Tuesday, with a 50 percent probability of showers. However, the weather is set to improve by midweek, with a sunny Wednesday in the forecast. The National Weather Service San Francisco reports that "dry weather looks favorable for Thursday," offering hope for a rain-free holiday. Still, the reprieve may be short-lived, as there’s "a renewed chance for pop up showers on Friday."
