NOAA: Winter Weather Advisories Issued Throughout SF Bay Area | Rain Mixed With Snow Possible At Sea Level

The National Weather Service has issued Winter Weather Advisories throughout the Bay Area. Some of which, are just over 10 miles from San Francisco, CA.

Talampais-Homestead Valley, CA is located just 12 miles from San Francisco. It sits at an elevation of 33 feet and snow is possible in the area on Tuesday.

Muir Woods National Monument is located just over 15 miles from San Francisco. The area is currently under a Winter Weather Advisory.

Mount Talampais, CA is located just over 20 miles from San Francisco. It’s peak elevation is 2,572 feet. At that elevation, anywhere from 2-4+” of snow is forecasted to fall through Tuesday morning. It’s possible that the mountain could see 4-8″ of snow at the peak.

To top it off, rain mixed with snow is possible all the way down to sea level.

“A very cold storm system will continue to settle over the Bay Area Monday afternoon and Monday night further lowering snow levels. Snow is already falling over the highest peaks Monday morning, but as snow levels lower snow will begin to accumulate Monday afternoon and Monday night. Snow levels are anticipated to be less than 1000 feet for the North Bay, above 1000 feet Santa Cruz Mountains and East Bay Hills, and above 1500 feet Santa Lucia Mountains and Southern Gabilan Range. Below 1000 feet, rain will mix with snow at times and potentially down to sea level, especially across the North Bay. Precipitation will taper off from north to south during the day on Tuesday.”

Accumulating snowfall is likely at elevations greater than 1,000ft, but rain mixed with snow is possible all the way down to sea level.
