A somewhat rainy weekend is likely to wet things much more in the southern bay and the central coast, so it will be inside the land or along the northern bay, according to the National Weather Service. South of the County of Santa Cruz, isolated thunderstorms can occur.
That said, even the National Weather Service said that it would not seem or would not feel as dull as a similar storm could feel in winter.
“The navy layer is quite robust, so it is not compressed,” said NWS meteorologist Joe Merchant. “Consequently, the ceilings are a little higher. So, instead of it is covered and gray at 500 feet, it is covered and gray at 1,500 feet or 2000 feet. So, it will not be so dreary.”
However, a hollow that is approaching will strike the ground by Friday with its destination on the central coast and along the county of Santa Cruz, according to Mercihant. The result is likely to be a quarter of rain between Friday and Sunday for these areas and South Bay sites such as San Jose.
In East bay, the rain will be considerably less, said Mercihant.
“At least rain will fall there,” he said. “It would be somehow Friday evening to Saturday and again Saturday afternoon on Sunday. It will be really light. No real showers. Just dispersed light rain. Perhaps a tenth in thumb all.
The point of landing for the hollow at the origin was to strike further on the coast, but Mercihant said that the higher level system which had preceded it had pulled the hollow further south.
The rain will be accompanied by the cooler temperatures that started on Wednesday. High temperatures should not escape the 1960s, and most cities will not even be hot, according to the meteorological service.
“At the beginning of next week, probably on Monday, we have a nice warm -up,” said Merchant. “Once the rain begins to cleare themselves, we have a nice dry hot trend in extensive forecasts.”
