Temperatures could reach into the 70s and 80s this week.
The next chance for rain in the region is expected Sunday and Monday, but many variables could change rainfall amounts and timing for the storm, which is still several days away from the region, Palmer said.
The weekend storm delivered about one-tenth of an inch of rain to the North Bay and San Francisco, with about 0.15 to 0.2 inches dropping in the Santa Cruz Mountains and just under 0.1 inches in the Santa Clara Valley. The Sierra Nevada received anywhere from two to four inches of snow, with the highest peaks getting up to six inches.
“At this point in time, any bit of rain we get helps but, it’s not helping like we need it to help,” Palmer said. “We need a decent amount of rain to catch up, because we were very dry during the two wettest months of the year. … We’re gonna start to dry out again but hopefully that rain we did get will help. It doesn’t mean we can’t get a fire, but the rain we got over the weekend could temper the rate of spread.
