As winter storms blanket Tahoe and clouds gather over the Bay Area, residents can expect another week of rainfall and dropping temperatures. Cold fronts from the Gulf of Alaska are set to bring approximately half an inch of rain across the region over the next few days, with the North Bay likely to receive the most precipitation.
While some areas might see up to an inch and a half of rain, meteorologists assure that the showers will be light and sporadic, rather than a constant downpour. Despite the unsettled weather pattern, temperatures are expected to rise gradually as the week progresses, with Monday morning forecasted to be the coldest. However, frost advisories are in place for North Bay interior valleys and mountains, highlighting the need for caution during the early hours.
By midweek, temperatures are predicted to warm up, reaching the upper 50s to low 60s across most of the region. While the rain is generally welcomed, residents are urged to stay vigilant against minor flooding, especially in areas already saturated from previous storms. As always, safety on the roads is paramount, and drivers are advised to avoid flooded roadways and heed any barricades for their own safety.
