This week is stacking up to be “a nice stretch of weather,” according to the National Weather Service. And perhaps it isn’t time to pack away those summer clothes just yet.

And for the weekend, the Boston area is predicted to see temperatures in the upper 70s to mid-80s. “It could happen even on the coast,” he said.

At about the same time, another isolated shower was over the North Bay and may arrive in San Francisco later this morning. The brief showers and some overnight sprinkles delivered less than a tenth of an inch to the city and other urban spots around the Bay Area. The East Bay Hills had received the most rainfall as of 7 a.m., with one station just east of Hayward recording .28 inch. The rainfall is the result of a system sweeping into the region Sunday night, and the National Weather Service commented in its official forecast, "The incoming cold front continues to look quite impressive on satellite, at least for this time of year."

"There could be another … [Read more...] about Rain falls over San Francisco Bay Area Monday, more on the way
