Cold Front Brings Rain and Snow to Northern California

A series of storm systems from the Alaskan gulf is set to deliver rain and colder temperatures across the Bay Area and snow in the Sierra Nevada through the weekend.

• Heavy rain is expected primarily in the North Bay, with up to half an inch of rainfall, while the East Bay and South Bay will see significantly less.
• The National Weather Service has issued high surf and coastal flood advisories due to strong winds and king tides along the California coast.
• Overnight temperatures in the Bay Area are forecasted to dip into the 30s, with some areas nearing freezing by the weekend.
• The Sierra Nevada mountains are under a winter storm watch, with up to a foot of snow expected at higher elevations through Friday.
• After a dry spell on Saturday, another weaker storm front is anticipated to bring more rain on Sunday before clearing next week.
