Friday night’s southwest winds will stream just enough moisture to the region to raise a slight chance for drizzle overnight into Saturday morning along Highway 1 between Pacifica and Half Moon Bay. Peninsula and Pacific Coast: A chilly weekend is on tap for the Peninsula as a cool breeze arrives Friday afternoon, keeping daytime highs in the mid-50s on the coast and San Bruno Gap and upper 50s south of Millbrae.

San Francisco: Another low-pressure system is set to roll up between Friday and Sunday, keeping temperatures from fluctuating much. Weather models are forecasting a more typical weather setup for the Bay Area after Monday: Coastal fog and light drizzle is right around the corner. The rainmaker coming in Friday night is set to bring rainfall levels that are more typical for this time of the year, with downtown San Francisco forecast to measure a few hundredths of an inch. This week’s wet pattern is unusual for May in the Bay Area, and resembles storms seen in late February or March. Even San Jose, which usually is rainshadowed and only measures 0.07 inches of rain, wound up measuring 0.20 inches. This year, 0.94 inches of rain were measured. The same goes for inland cities. On average, the Redwood City weather station measures around 0.10 inches of rain in the first three days of May. On average, the first three days of May typically measure less than 0.10 inches - largely the result of lighter showers and the gradual transition to more frequent drizzles, mist and fog. The cutoff low from earlier in the week left behind over an inch of rain during its 3-day run, packing a punch downtown. But this wet season in the Bay Area has been anything but normal. The downtown San Francisco station normally sees around 0.7 inches of rain over the month of May, which is roughly half of the rainfall we’d see in April. The rest of the Bay Area can expect rainfall totals closer to a tenth of an inch.Īccording to the San Francisco weather station’s monthly climate normals, May tends to be at the very tail end of the wet season, with most rainfall tapering off after March.

Most of the Bay Area is forecast to see anywhere from a few hundredths of an inch to a tenth of an inch of rain, while some of the higher elevations in the Diablo Range and Sonoma County Mountains could see totals closer to a third of an inch of rain. Weather models aren’t gung ho on large accumulations of rain between Friday night and Saturday. One of those lows is forecast to arrive in Northern California on Friday night, raising chances of light showers in parts of the Bay Area. More sunshine is forecast to break through some of the clouds Friday as the jet stream flows over California again, helping clear out the cutoff low responsible for most of this week’s unsettled weather.īut the positioning of the jet stream will also help a new low-pressure system flow in above the Pacific Ocean and near California. Climatologically, there is some truth to that sentiment. These May showers may feel out of season for many residents, considering the past few Mays were warmer and drier.
