A period of unsettled weather that will bring some light rain to the Bay Area over the next couple of days will also coincide with a cold snap and king tides, according to the National Weather Service.
Monday morning was chilly, with temperatures away from immediate coastal areas dipping into the mid-20s to mid-30s and much of the Bay Area was under a frost advisory.
Cold temperatures are expected to linger into Tuesday as a weak front moves into the region, along with larger than average tides and a risk of minor coastal flooding.
“The two big things we have coming up are an unsettled weather pattern for rest of week and the king tides that are going to build over the next few days,” National Weather Service Meteorologist Dial Hoang said.
Hoang said people should expect a “quick shot of rain” on Tuesday and Wednesday.
“For most people in the Bay Area, the storm totals we’re looking at aren’t going to be that high, maybe a tenth to a quarter of an inch for most people, and a tenth to half an inch for coastal ranges,” he said.
The forecast also calls for the possibility of larger rain totals later in the week and into the weekend.
The king tides are expected Wednesday through Friday, with “nuisance” flooding most likely during the midmorning and midafternoon high tide periods.
UC Berkeley’s Sierra Snow Lab said Sunday morning it received 13.6 inches of snow the previous 24 hours, and 25.6 inches the past week.
The most recent storm moved the site to 51% of median snowfall and 41% of median snowfall date, it said on social media.
The lab said it expects more snow Tuesday and Wednesday.
