Radar depicting a few scattered showers moving through the Bay Area and Central Coast this evening. Mostly very light and short-lived as seen thus far. Beyond the current precipitation moving through, really don't expect too much in the way of additional rainfall overnight outside of a stray light shower or two, in additional to areas of coastal and mountain drizzle as we head into Friday morning. Overall amounts this evening will be just a smattering of one to a few hundredths here and there. ∨

Cloudy conditions continue, with breezy to gusty northwest wind this afternoon and evening as the upper level pattern continues to shift behind the low pressure center's passage. An additional trough passes through the area overnight, bringing widespread drizzle chances with light rain possible on higher elevations and along the coast. ∨

LIGHT RAIN POSSIBLE ON HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND ALONG THE COAST. [DISC]

Precipitation chances pause Friday afternoon, but cloud cover will still be persistent. Friday's pressure gradient change will make for even breezier conditions that afternoon specifically for higher peaks and along the Big Sur coast. The trough looks to be slow to exit Saturday morning with additional drizzle chances expected along with another round of light rain chances on higher elevations and along the coast. ∨

The new upper level pattern keeps mostly northwest onshore flow into the weekend. While the immediate coast will continue to struggle with cloud cover, most areas slightly more inland and well into the interior will see quicker clearing times. This will place most areas back into the 60s and 70s into the next work week, while the coast will stick to around 60° highs. By the late week, some of those more interior locations look to break into the low 80s. ∨

Longer term models are in better agreement that the next rain maker may just stay well to the north of the Bay Area and Central Coast as the ECMWF [European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts model] model families have adjusted the next trough to arrive over Seattle rather than the Bay Area. ∨
