SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS RADIO) – As we kick off November with a celebratory return of wet weather, a meteorologist outlines what this rain means for the Bay Area.

Bay Area residents were met with a cold front Tuesday morning. At around 12 p.m., the cloud structure had just crossed over San Francisco and begun heading down the peninsula.
"Thus far, downtown San Francisco has gotten 15 hundredths of an inch of rain, which isn't a lot, but more than we had in the whole month of October," Warren Blier, Science Officer with the National Weather Service, told KCBS Radio.
As California treks through the latter end of the fire season, any and all precipitation is a welcome occurrence. "Any rain we get at this point certainly helps out," Blier said. "I think we’ll still be seeing some more showers over the coming hours and maybe another round of showers passing through during the day tomorrow, dry weather for the latter part of the week, but potentially more rain for the latter part of the weekend."
Despite a dry October, the Bay Area looks to be heading into a wet pattern over the coming days. "We could see some more rain starting around Saturday night and then it still looks to be unsettled weather heading into the first part of next week," Blier forecast. "We could see some more wet weather for the first part of next week."
Up north, communities along the Sierra Nevada have been preparing for the snow season. "They should be looking at some snow from this system, although starting off just at the really high elevations," Blier said. "I don't think the storm will be a great snow producer, but at least a start."
