25 to 40 percent chance of rainy Christmas in parts of Bay Area
Winter officially began Thursday, and Christmas might be a good time to get cozy inside: there’s a chance of rain, especially in the North Bay.
“There’s a slight chance of precipitation late on the 24th, and into the day on 25th,” said Scott Rowe of the National Weather Service in Monterey. “It should dissipate pretty quickly but there’s potential for lingering showers.”
He said that the chance of rain was between 25 and 40 percent in the North Bay, and closer to 20 percent south of the Golden Gate Bridge. He said it wasn’t likely to be heavy rain.
