Cold Front Brings Overnight Rain, Followed by a Midweek Fall Chill

Beneficial rain gives way to a sharp, dry cool-down with inland frost risk late week.

Overview

  • Showers expand late Tuesday into Wednesday morning, making for a wet commute before tapering by midday to afternoon in many areas.
  • Most spots are forecast to receive roughly 0.5–1.0 inches of rain with localized heavier totals up to around 1–1.5 inches.
  • Behind the front, northwest winds usher in much cooler, drier air; highs settle in the 50s and 60s with frost or a light freeze possible in colder valleys Thursday night into Friday.
  • Forecast models signal a coastal low may develop this weekend, though the track and intensity remain uncertain and will govern any renewed rain and coastal effects.
  • A separate cut‑off low in the West is set to bring an extended period of precipitation with measurable mountain snow likely in higher elevations into the weekend, while Tropical Storm Jerry is monitored offshore with current guidance keeping it at sea.
