Finally! San Francisco: Much-Needed Rain to Continue Through Midweek

Well, just as the ABC7 News Weather team predicted last week – today has been a wet & messy one.

Tree branch cracks, smashes 3 cars. Oak/Broderick Street San Francisco. Sunday, November 30th 2014 – Lower Haight

Strong winds and rain cracked the branch on this tree at Oak & Broderick Streets – smashing several cars and taking out a taxi’s windshield along with it.

Fortunately – there were no injuries.

According to our team, the San Francisco Bay area will receive rounds of drenching rain through the middle of the week.

Colder air that pushed into southern Oregon and northern California this weekend has helped to set up a storm track across the area from the Pacific Ocean.
Rain will expand from the San Francisco and Sacramento areas to Southern California into Tuesday.

While this will be far from enough to impact the ongoing drought, rain from this system will help bring monthly rainfall totals closer to normal with both San Francisco and Sacramento only receiving about one-third of their typical rainfall for the month of November as of Thursday.
