San Francisco Gears Up for a Soggy Week as Weather Officials Predict Rainfall and High Surf Advisory

San Francisco residents are bracing for a wet week ahead as weather officials forecast a series of rainfalls hitting the region. According to

This cold front is set to bring much-needed moisture to the area, with rain totals expected by this evening aligning with recent forecasts, showing a slight trend upward, especially in the coastal ranges.

The maritime community should also note that a high surf advisory is in effect from 6 AM Tuesday to 6 AM Wednesday due to a moderate period of northwest swell. As per the
