Cloudy, cool
Today will be cloudy and cool with temps in the 50s in San Francisco.
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:

Weather pattern is changing
The stable, dry pattern that has been responsible for all of the stubborn fog is moving out of town. There is high confidence that a series of storms will drop into Northern California for the rest of December. The first weak system moves in Tuesday. Shower chances will be favoring the North Bay, Highs should range from the mid 50s to the mid 60s. Shower chances will be highest late Tuesday - Wednesday morning. System 2 could be arriving Friday. The wet weather pattern could linger into the weekend. We are tracking a potentially strong storm early next week.

Changes to Bay Area weather are coming this weekend
Monday will be similar to today's cool temperatues with slow burn off of the tule fog and misty morning conditions. High clouds that are expected to flow over the region, increasing the breeze and hopefully scouring the tule fog out a bit earlier each day. The BIG news is the weather pattern change beginning on Tuesday. Exact timing and amounts are not certain, but rain arrives to the Bay Area, with the heaviest rain Friday through Sunday.
Cloudy and cool persists
The cloudy, cool weather will continue today with patchy dense fog for our inland cities. Afternoon highs will range from upper 40s inland to low 60s around the bay. Chance of showers enter the Bay Area later this week.
Another round of fog
Our persistent weather pattern will stick around for a couple of more days. Low clouds and fog will resurface Sunday morning. Partly sunny skies are expected later in the day. Fog patches could linger in some of the inland valleys. Highs should range from the upper 40s to the low 60s. After a long dry stretch, we are finally tracking some rain for next week. The days we are watching are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. A stronger storm could move in next weekend.

Fog and more fog
Saturday will be day 20 of dense Inland tule fog and 23 days without rain. More of the same on Saturday and Sunday until late Tuesday and Wednesday when light rain enters the Bay area. Until then, temperatures in the 40s and 50s where there is a deck of fog Inland, 50s and 60s elsewhere.

Why Bay Area rivers can become prone to flooding
The Bay Area's rivers and creeks can easily turn from calm streams into potentially dangerous bodies of water. KTVU Chief Meteorologist Mark Tamayo spoke to the National Weather Service about how their meteorologists determine when Bay Area rivers can become prone to flooding.
