Weakened system brings new round of rain to the Bay Area
Though it is not expected to be as heavy as the precipitation that fell across the region Wednesday, another storm system brought more rain to the Bay Area that's expected to last into Thursday evening.
According to KPIX chief meteorologist Paul Heggen, the next round of rain is expected to arrive in the North Bay just after sunrise. It will then progress south across the region through early afternoon, with rainfall generally in the .1"-.25" range.
BART announced early Thursday that the transit system was running trains at slower speeds due to the wet weather.
Officials ask riders to please watch their step on wet stairways and platforms. Real time departures can be found on the BART official app or bart.gov
Wednesday's rainfall was far more substantial, with many parts of the Bay Area receiving up to .25" and the North Bay approaching an inch of precipitation.
Daytime highs are expected to be in the high 50s to 60s on the coast and around the bay, and in the high 50s inland. Overtime lows are projected to be in the 40s in the region, with some coastal and interior areas dropping into the high 30s.
According to the NWS, colder and dry airmass is also expected to move through the Bay Area at the end of the work week.
The outlook remains dry but cool Friday through the weekend, with near-normal highs around 60°.
A warming trend kicks in early next week, as the dry stretch continues. Highs will reach the low to mid 60s Monday through Wednesday.
