After a brief respite following recent holiday storms, the Bay Area is bracing for a return of inclement weather. The National Weather Service has issued a cold weather advisory, indicating that chilly temperatures and rain are expected throughout the week. As another atmospheric river storm approaches, residents should prepare for possible power outages, coastal flood advisories, and king tides. Central Coast areas are also on alert with similar weather warnings. While Monday may start with clear skies, the forecast indicates a significant wet weather shift as the year draws to a close, with two storms anticipated mid-week. As temperatures dip into the 30s and 40s, the public is advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions.
