Mon Nov 11 21:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Rain Returns to Bay Area, Bringing Slick Roads and High Surf Advisory

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – The San Francisco Bay Area woke up to the sound of rain on Monday, November 11th, as precipitation returned after a dry spell. The heaviest rain fell between 8 am and 10 am, with the North Bay coastal ranges receiving the most, up to three-quarters of an inch. North Bay valleys and the Santa Cruz Mountains saw up to half an inch, while the rest of the Bay Area received up to a quarter of an inch.

The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a high surf advisory for beaches along the coast, effective from Tuesday at 6 am to Wednesday at 6 am. Waves are expected to reach 12 to 15 feet, prompting authorities to advise residents to stay out of the water and keep pets away.

Motorists are urged to drive cautiously as roads are slick and allow extra time for travel. The Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) has announced that trains will run at slower speeds due to the wet weather.

The rest of the week is predicted to be cool with another chance of rainfall towards the middle of the week, according to KRON4 Meteorologist John Shrable.
