SAN FRANCISCO, Cali. (DDN) – The calm weather that is predicted for the weekend won’t last long. Midway through next week, stormy conditions are expected to return, and while the Bay Area is expected to receive a significant amount of rain, Southern California may experience some of the most intense precipitation.
A ridge of high pressure is expected to form over the Eastern Pacific starting on Friday and move eastward into California during the weekend. As a result, the weather will be considerably calmer through the beginning of next week.
However, a cold air mass will accompany this developing ridge of high pressure. Over the weekend and into next week, daytime temperatures in the Bay Area will struggle to rise above the 50s, even with plenty of sunshine. Additionally, the mornings will be chilly, with urban areas returning to the upper 30s and low 40s and some of the more protected interior places dropping into the high 20s.
A new storm is expected to form over the Eastern Pacific by next Wednesday and swiftly make its way to the California coast. Forecast models agree that heavy rain and snow will affect much of the state on Wednesday and Thursday, while the storm system’s precise path and severity are still unknown.

It will bring both a boon and a bane to the rain-stricken area as it moves down the coast into Southern California, unlike the storm systems of the previous week. According to some projection models, the hills surrounding Los Angeles might receive up to three inches of rain, which could cause hazardous debris flows in the burn scars left by the most recent fires.
The storm is only a few days away, so there is still a lot of uncertainty about its exact path and level of strength. A retreating ridge of high pressure will compete with the storm system as it forms, affecting the storm’s strength and the location of its landfall.
However, it is quite likely that the storm will draw enough moisture from the Pacific to distribute snow and rain across most of the state.
