The Bay Area witnesses an unanticipated shift in weather during the first week of June, as cooler temperatures and potential rain disrupt the typically warm climate. Meteorologist Rob Mayeda discusses these unexpected conditions in a recent Microclimate Forecast.
After a weekend of heatwaves in Concord and Fairfield, a change towards cooler weather is predicted to take place soon. Although temperatures were around 73°F without any fog in San Jose or Livermore, a significant cooldown is expected. Inland temperatures are likely to drop further, accompanied by increased wind and cloud cover.
Mornings are expected to have low clouds extending locally inland, followed by partly cloudy skies in the afternoon. Showers are anticipated from the Sierra and areas south of San Jose, most likely starting just after sunset. Inland regions will experience highs in the 70s, while San Francisco and Oakland will stay in the 60s. Wind speeds and directions are also expected to change, with gusty conditions originating from the south-southeast.
Rain-producing clouds should hold off until around 5:00 PM, with a possibility of isolated thunder late Monday night. A clockwise rotation signifies low pressure moving from east to west. A brief pause may occur on Tuesday morning, with another round of rain potentially arriving Tuesday night into Wednesday. This atypical weather pattern is connected to low-pressure areas across central California, an area not typically known for rain during this time of year.
The possibility of showers may continue through late Tuesday, as the low-pressure system moves northward on Thursday and Friday. However, another area of low pressure could approach next weekend. Despite the unusual weather, the Bay Area remains prepared and vigilant, with residents adapting to the cooler temperatures and potential rain in the coming days.
