Generally light rain is expected on Saturday and Sunday, with the rain concentrated in the North Bay.

ALT A strong low pressure system will bring significant rainfall to the Bay Area and Central Coast Monday and Tuesday. The highest rain totals will lie in the North Bay with 1 to 3 inches in the valleys, locally up to 5 inches in the higher elevations. The coastal ranges see 1 to 2 inches of rain, with half an inch to an inch in the interior Bay Area and Monterey Bay region and a tenth to a half an inch in the interior Central Coast. Flooding of creeks, small streams, and roads is possible. Turn around, don't drown!

ALT Strong winds return on Monday and Tuesday with an approaching low pressure system. There's a medium potential (40 to 60 percent) of gusts 35 miles per hour and above along the coast, through the gaps, passes, and valleys, and across higher terrain.

ALT Model output is showing a possibility that a significant storm impacts the Bay Area and Central Coast in the days after Christmas. There's moderate confidence (30 to 60 percent probability) that at least 3 inches of rain will fall on on December 26 and 27 across the North Bay. The main question is whether significant moisture will be drawn into the area, be diverted to the north or south, or fail to approach the coast. There's low confidence in the forecast at this time, so follow forecast updates! Potential impacts include continued flooding concerns, wet roadways, and elevated levels on creeks and streams.

ALT A High Surf Advisory has been issued for the Pacific Coast from 6 AM Saturday to 4 PM Sunday, due to large west swell with breaking waves 15 to 18 feet, including possible breakers near 20 feet. Large breaking waves can sweep across the beach, pulling people into the sea from rocks, jetties and beaches. An increased risk for rip currents can create dangerous conditions for swimmers. Sudden immersion in cold water can result in cold water shock even for the most experienced swimmers, greatly increasing the risk of drowning in rough open waters. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water! Never turn your back to the ocean!
