Rain is expected to begin falling Monday morning, mainly in the North Bay, but by the afternoon, light to moderate showers are expected across the Bay Area. Forecaster Vianey Arana has your Microclimate Forecast.
The persistence of "king tides" has prompted the National Weather Service to issue a coastal flood advisory from 10 a.m. through 2 p.m. Monday, impacting low-lying areas along the coast and inland bays.
"King tide" isn't really a scientific term, but rather a catch-all term referring to higher-than-normal tides that often accompany a new or full moon.
In other weather-related notes for the coming week:
- Rainfall of between one-quarter and 1 inch is expected over much of the Bay Area late Sunday and most of Monday, spurred by a cold front coming in. There also could be sporadic lightning and thunder.
- Heavy winds are possible starting late Monday afternoon and going into Tuesday morning, the National Weather Service says.
- Cold overnight temperatures -- low- to mid-40s along the coast and San Francisco Bay shorelines, down into the 30s in inland valleys - are expected starting Wednesday night.
