Rain Is on the Way

It may not look like it now—with hardly a cloud in the sky—but the National Weather Service is predicting rain this weekend.

A strong Pacific storm is expected to move in tonight, bringing with it gusty winds and a 20 percent chance of rain after 11 p.m. 

On Saturday and Sunday in Belmont Shore and Naples, we’ll see a 70 percent chance of rain, with light rain expected in the morning and a chance of more in the afternoon.

The brunt of the storm is expected Sunday night with a 90 percent chance of rain, according to the weather service. On Sunday night, the rain could be heavy at times. Monday will also see a high likelihood of showers.

Temperatures will stay cool over the weekend, peaking in the low 60s. Overnight temperatures will be in the low 50s. The cool wet weather is expected to bring snow to the local mountains. So, if a gloomy wet day at the beach doesn’t appeal to you, you can always pack up the car and go skiing or snowboarding this weekend.
