WHEEEEEEEE

Wet weather returns Wednesday! A low-end #AtmosphericRiver will send moderate to heavy rain and gusty winds across the Bay Area, primarily from late morning through the afternoon. Urban and small stream flooding will be possible, along with tree damage and a few power outages. #CAwx

🚨ADOPTABLE DOG ALERT🚨

"Guapo" has had a rough year since his human suddenly passed, but this gentle giant is doing great in foster and is ready to go to a fur-ever home. He'll likely be waiting INDOORS on Wednesday, to stay out of the rain and wind! Details here:

Showers this evening and tonight are the opening act for the “main event” that arrives Wednesday night and Thursday. Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall for the Bay Area, and even a chance of thunderstorms. Gusty winds will be a threat on Thursday as well. #CAwx

Don't hold your breath, but some forecast models are trying to bring a few pop-up showers to the Bay Area on Saturday. It's about a 1-in-3 chance of anything more than a sprinkle, so I wouldn't adjust any outdoor plans. #CAwx

Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings are in effect all the way along the Gulf coast. 4" to 6" of snow in places like Houston and New Orleans will bring those cities to an absolute halt.

Dry weather continues through at least next week. For REALLY long-range forecasts, we look at ensemble data: one model, run dozens times with slightly different conditions to give us a range of outcomes.

The European model’s ensemble hints at some rain two weeks from now. A long way off!
