The Bay Area can expect a shift in weather patterns with cooler temperatures and increased chances of rain early next week, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). A dry air mass and light offshore winds have dominated recently, bringing unusually low dew points—down to the teens in parts of Monterey. By tonight, however, a weak weather trough is expected to bring a wave of high clouds and potentially a colorful sunset, along with light rain in the North Bay coastal ranges.
As humidity levels rise, the trough will introduce a shift toward more robust onshore flow, signaling a more active weather pattern. Early rain is anticipated by next week, with additional moisture likely later in the week, marking a transition into wetter, cooler days across the region.
