Scattered showers Thursday could add small amounts to Bay Area rain totals
Remnants of a wet Wednesday were expected to linger in the Bay Area on Thursday in the form of scattered showers, according to the National Weather Service.
A weakening cold front coming from the Pacific Northwest was predicted to linger in the region until the early evening. Those showers, which bring quick bouts of light rainfall, weren’t expected to bring more than a fraction of an inch of precipitation, the NWS said.
Scattered showers currently on radar and expected to continue overnight. Another weakening cold front will move through later today, so rain chances continue through the evening. Spots could pick up an additional few hundredths to 0.15” thru the day. #CAwx pic.twitter.com/PNrMNGRNjm

While that front won’t bring an extraordinary amount of rain, temperatures dipping into the high 30s could be a possibility overnight into Friday. Overnight low forecasts included 39 degrees in San Jose and Concord, 37 in Livermore and 44 in San Francisco.
