(BCN) -- Thursday in the Bay Area calls for chances of showers and rain across the region, with cloud cover in multiple areas, according to the National Weather Service. Daytime highs will be mostly in the low to mid 60s on the coast and around the bay, and mid 60s to low 70s inland. Overnight lows will be in the low to mid 50s. Forecasters say light rain is expected in parts of the Bay Area on Thursday as a slow-moving storm system off the Central Coast brings showers before drier conditions arrive by evening. Most areas could receive about 0.1 to 0.5 inches of rain throughout the day, with coastal areas likely to see higher totals. The chance of severe thunderstorms has passed, and only light rain is expected in areas that receive precipitation over the next 24 hours, the weather service says. Rain is expected to taper off by sunset Thursday as drier conditions move into the region. Copyright © 2026 Bay City News, Inc. ...read more read less
