A series of storms started impacted the Bay Area Friday of last week, and will finally come to an end late tonight. Over a foot of rain fell on the North Bay Mountains, with 1-7" elsewhere. A few more waves of rain will arrive today before sunshine returns this weekend! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Over 3 FEET of snow has fallen across parts of the Sierra Mountains in just 24 hours...great for all you planning to hit the slopes this weekend, finally there's some good fresh powder! Wait until the snow clears before heading up there, roads are currently treacherous. @kpixtv.bsky.social

🚨🔥 Warmest Christmas on record for the Contiguous U.S.! The average high of 57.9F and the average low of 36.6F each broke the Christmas record by a full 3F. 🔥🚨

Rainbow over San Francisco after a round of storms on Christmas Day 🌈⛈️

Definitely some rotation in these cells heading towards the coast between Pescadero and Half Moon Bay. There are 50+ mph winds and likely waterspouts, which could potentially turn into funnel clouds/tornadoes on land. Seek shelter if you live in the area until the storm passes. @kpixtv.bsky.social

HOW windy did it get across the Bay Area morning?! And when will the rain FINALLY end? Details below:

I could NOT get the words 'Mount Unumhum' correctly out of my mouth almost all morning long...but I had to mention it because they saw a 90 mph wind gust!!! Hopefully you get a good giggle, because I know all my coworkers did😅🤣 Try saying it fast ten times - I bet you can't!

There were hurricane force wind gusts across coastal Bay Area communities early this morning. There wasn't a lot of rain with this system, but the next one arriving tonight will bring 1-3"+ of widespread rain through Friday. Please stay safe out there on your holiday week! @kpixtv.bsky.social

The ENTIRE state of California is going to be dealing with wild weather through Christmas day. The worst winds will arrive overnight, as the heaviest rain comes in waves through Christmas Day. SoCal burn scars have a high risk for flash flooding, with heavy snow over the Sierra. @kpixtv.bsky.social

California, get ready for a busy week! After over a foot of rain in the past 2 days across NorCal, an even more powerful storm will arrive overnight Tues bringing wind gusts 40-60+ mph. And ANOTHER storm will arrive just in time for Christmas Eve into Christmas morning... @kpixtv.bsky.social

Bay Area weather this week: 1. Heavy rain. Biggest concern for the Sierra foothills/North Bay with flooding possible today-tomorrow. 2. Strong winds Tues-Wed. Gusts 50-60+ mph will down tree limbs and lead to power outages. 3. 1-4' of SNOW in the Sierra, depending on elevation! @kpixtv.bsky.social

NorCal has been seeing the heaviest rain so far...but that stream of moisture will push south over the Bay Area today. 1-3" is possible areawide through Monday night! BUT, the strongest winds will arrive late Tuesday - early Wednesday...get ready for 40-60 mph gusts! @kpixtv.bsky.social

This weekend's rain is brought to us by a textbook atmospheric river: a narrow band in the atmosphere transporting large amounts of water vapor, carrying moisture from the tropics towards the poles. Can you see it?! It literally looks like a "river in the sky"! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Not just a lot of rain with these storms...but a lot of windy and snowy weather! It will be breezy Sunday with 30-40 mph gusts, but the most damaging winds will arrive late Tuesday night especially closer to the coast with gusts 40-60+ mph. Downed trees/limbs and power outages will be a concern.

Showers will move in from west to east across the Bay Area this afternoon, heaviest over the North Bay. North Bay will see the heavier rain through early Sunday, before that firehose of rain pushes south. South Bay will finally get in on some heavier rain by Sunday evening. @kpixtv.bsky.social

Get ready for a PARADE OF STORMS, California! And they will only get stronger next week. The heaviest rain is likely Sun-Tues (3-6"+), with the strongest winds Wed-Thur. Multiple feet of snow expected on the Sierra. Holiday travel is going to be tricky, so plan ahead! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Rain early this week will be lackluster...but don't worry Bay Area, a powerful atmospheric river will set up this weekend. A series of storms will usher in even stronger, more widespread waves of rain. In fact, EVERY SINGLE DAY of Christmas Week has the chance for rain! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Overnight is our first chance for rain ALL MONTH across the Bay Area...but I don't get too excited...rain totals will be minimal at best, around .01-.1". South Bay will be lucky to see a few drops. Drying out into late morning with a slight warmup by Wednesday afternoon! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Fog will stick around before a storm system FINALLY pushes out the stagnant weather pattern that's been sitting over California. The first round of rain, albeit light, will arrive late Tuesday into early Wednesday. Do you prefer the fog, or are you rooting for the rain?! @kpixtv.bsky.social

It's been abnormally dry across the Bay Area to kick off the month of December...it's the driest start to the month in decades for many locations. For SF, Oakland, Napa, Santa Rosa, and Salinas it's the driest since 1989. BUT that will change very quickly, as rain is on the way this week!

Had to hop on this trend…Junior Mintz is easily the best decision I’ve ever made❤️ #inyour20s

High pressure has created a pretty strong inversion layer across the Bay Area, trapping all the fog and bad air quality at the surface. It’s also trapping cold air at the surface - which means above the inversion layer on top of the mountains it’s actually 10°+ warmer than the valleys!

The sun will set over San Francisco at 4:50 PM through Thursday…our earliest sunsets of the year! Starting Friday, the sun will begin to set later. But our shortest day of the year isn’t until December 21, because the sunrise will continue to get later through January! @kpixtv.bsky.social

It's not going to be as strong as the display last month, but there's the chance for far northern parts of the US to see the aurora tonight! Unfortunately there's going to be a LOT of cloud coverage from a clipper storm, so most areas won't be as lucky this time. @kpixtv.bsky.social

LOT'S of weather to talk about across the Northern US this week...another round of snow thanks to a clipper storm, with an even bigger blast of arctic air to follow. Moisture from this storm is brought by an atmospheric river, currently bringing heavy rain across the PNW. @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy

Bay Area microclimates are in full force...opposite from what you'd see in the summer! Inland areas are dealing with dense, stubborn fog keeping temperatures 5-10° cooler than the rest of the Bay. Coastal communities will be the warmest, warming up more farther south! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Gorgeous timelapse over San Francisco above the fog this morning🤩 Most of us didn’t get this view under the fog, so I thought I’d share with you all!

High pressure will continue to deflect all storms north of California, bringing the Pacific NW over a week of rainy weather. Thanks to high pressure, the Bay Area won't see a drop of rain until at least the middle of the month...if not later. Cool and foggy until then! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Another day filled with morning fog giving way to afternoon sunshine and not-so-great air quality across most of the Bay Area. Stubborn fog across inland valleys will keep highs near 50°. Drive down the coast to Santa Cruz or Monterey to enjoy the 60s and better air quality! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Have you gone surfing in the Bay Area?! Or are you like me, too wimpy to deal with the chilly ocean water? Or like Kelsi and scared of sharks? At least there's going to be sunshine if you're heading to the coast today! Whether you're out surfing or just watching, remember to dress accordingly!

WHY is it so foggy in the Bay Area!? It's because we're experiencing TWO different types of fog right now! Thick tule fog from the Central Valley (very common in winter) spills into the Bay Area's valleys while marine fog (very common in summer) pushes in from the coast! @kpixtv.bsky.social

It's been a relatively quiet start to this snow season across the Sierra - some parts 83% below normal for snowfall. BUT, precipitation as a whole (rain and snow) is actually above average for the Sierra - most of our precipitation so far this season has fallen as rain! @kpixtv.bsky.social

More thick tule fog will develop across the Central Valley tonight, spilling into the inland East Bay. This fog will stick around into the early afternoon, keeping highs a few degrees cooler inland Thursday afternoon. Sunnier and slightly warmer weather moves in by Friday! @kpixtv.bsky.social

It's that time of year between Thanksgiving and Christmas when everyone (or maybe it's just me😅) forgets what day it is!

A bitter, arctic blast is making it's way across the Northern US this week. Record cold overnight lows will spill across most of IA and into KS. Daytime highs tomorrow across the Midwest will be in the teens, with wind chill making it feel like the single digits! @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy

Snow will continue to wrap up overnight across the Northeast - any water on the ground freezes overnight and creates some slick early Tuesday morning commutes. An arctic blast is hot on it's heels, with bitter cold moving across the Northern US through the rest of the week🥶

STUNNING, vibrant cotton candy sunset this evening across the Bay Area😍

Get ready for sunshine Bay Area - THE FOG IS FINALLY GOING TO CLEAR!!! After a VERY foggy past week across our inland valley areas, drier air will allow fog to lift by Tuesday afternoon and temperatures to warm 5-10°...enjoy the sunnier skies while it lasts (until Wednesday)! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Another BEAutiful sunset this evening over San Francisco😍 And more sunshine for all of the Bay Area will return through midweek - enjoy these lovely sunsets before the fog returns! @kpixtv.bsky.social

ANOTHER snowstorm on the way across central US - an additional 1-5" is likely across the Midwest, with accumulating ice being an issue across AR, KY, TN, and the Appalachian Mountains through early Tuesday. The heaviest snow will be across the highest elevations of New England. @cbsnews.com

There was a mag 3.3 earthquake at 10:56 PM Sunday near Kenwood, just SE of Santa Rosa. So far there’s been two aftershocks, 2.7 and 3.1 respectively. It’s been an active past week of earthquakes across the Bay - just a reminder to get your earthquake disaster plan and emergency kit ready!

Another cold and foggy start to this Monday is in store across the Bay Area...but there is FINALLY going to be a break in this foggy/chilly weather pattern into the mid week. North Bay will see more sunshine tomorrow, and inland areas more sunshine by Tuesday/Wednesday! @kpixtv.bsky.social

The travel trouble spot in California this week will be the central valley, where Tule fog will be incredibly stubborn through at least Thanksgiving. Some of that fog will sneak into the Bay Area each morning, but will give way to plenty of sunshine each afternoon!

After some dense fog this morning, upper level clouds will arrive this afternoon. Highs will be a few degrees cooler than yesterday, in the high 50s/low 60s. We'll warm up slightly through the midweek, but seasonable and dry weather will stick around all Thanksgiving week. @kpixtv.bsky.social

Watch meteorologist Ms. @zoemintz.bsky.social weekend mornings @kpixtv.bsky.social Bay Area and during the week streaming on @cbsnews.com 24/7🌞📺💛! kpix.com/live cbsnews.com/live #firstalertweather #kpix #cbsnews247 bsky.app/profile/zoem...

HOW much rain has the Bay Area seen since November 1st? Salinas/San Jose are in their top 6 and 7 (respectively) wettest first three weeks on record. It's SF's wettest in over a decade, and Oakland's wettest since 2017. However, inland East Bay, like Livermore, is below average so far this month.

DENSE fog (<.25 miles), known as tule fog, this time of year is very common in CA. Moisture on the ground comes in contact with cold air, condensing it, and with calm winds and clear skies the fog just keeps getting thicker...until temperatures warm up by the afternoon! @kpixtv.bsky.social

The difficulty of working on a giant green screen - technology is fun😅 #Bloopers

FINALLY, a drier weather pattern will arrive to the Bay Area starting this weekend. But it was fun while it lasted! The storm (over SoCal right now) is acting like a gear to usher in atmospheric river moisture☔️ This system will move over AZ, NM, and CO through the weekend.
