We won't call it a drought buster, but the Bay Area did receive some rain Tuesday morning.

"Overall light amounts but some of the North Bay hills could see totals of 0.5" or greater," the National Weather Service forecasted Monday night. "Expect to hear pitter patter on your roof overnight across the North Bay. Wet roads for the Tuesday morning commute in the Bay Area."
At 3 a.m., the NWS rain gauge counted a total of 0.08 inches in downtown San Francisco. The precipitation is forecasted to total one tenth to one fourth inches of rain across the Bay Area.
Despite the scatters of rain, the "miracle March" many weather experts hoped for is becoming more unlikely.
October through March was supposed to be the Bay Area's rainy season. It started out with a bang in October and again in December with a handful of big storms, but since then, the Bay Area has not seen another atmospheric river.
"We're running out of time," NWS Meteorologist Ryan Walbrun told KCBS Radio. "April too we can get some rain, but it's hard to get those beneficial rains."
From the Bay Area to Southern California, many regions have only received 50% to 60% of average rainfall going into the spring and summer months.
More rain is on the horizon for the Bay Area this upcoming weekend, but it is not expected to be a full storm. "That system at this time does look stronger than what we're seeing right now," Walbrun said. However, not strong enough to make a significant impact.
