The Bay Area should finally get a rain-free day on Tuesday. San Francisco has logged rain on four of the past five days, and some spots, like San Jose, have recorded measurable rain every day since last Thursday.
Tuesday will be dry, with more sun than clouds, but it won’t be a shorts-and-picnic afternoon in Golden Gate Park kind of day. Temperatures will stay a few degrees below average for mid-November, slightly warmer than Monday, yet still stuck in the upper 50s to mid-60s across the region. Wednesday looks fairly similar with mostly sunny skies and cooler temperatures.
The next storm arrives late Wednesday night into early Thursday. It’s the third system in a row that will do most of its work while the Bay Area sleeps. However, each model run keeps trending the storm system weaker. Many places may struggle to reach even a half-inch of rain.
After that, the storm door likely closes for now. Long-range guidance points to a dry, seasonably mild pattern taking hold for the rest of November.

Temperatures will remain on the cool side, with highs in the mid- to upper 50s in the Sunset and Presidio and around 60 downtown and in the Mission District. Low clouds should return overnight, with temperatures dipping into the low 50s…
