Rain today and record warmth
How about that! Rain today and record WARMTH! Today across the San Francisco Bay Area, temperatures ran well above average for mid-December. Highs ranged from 61° in San Francisco to 72° in Redwood City and Morgan Hill. San Jose topped out at 71°, while Concord reached 67°, breaking the previous record of 66° set 25 years ago in 2000. This warmth arrived alongside our first measurable rain after 26 consecutive dry days. A weak, warm storm system moved through the region, producing 0.18 inches of rain in Oakland and up to .35 inches in San Francisco and La Honda, helping to briefly ease very dry conditions. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for the Monterey Bay region — including Capitola — until 9 PM tonight. Visibility has been locally reduced, especially near the coast. Tonight Expect patchy fog and mostly cloudy skies, with overnight lows dropping into the 40s. Thursday, morning fog and low clouds will give way to partly cloudy skies during the day, followed by increasing clouds Thursday night ahead of the next system on Friday. A much wetter and more unsettled pattern sets up late week into next week:
