If you live in northern California, specifically the San Francisco Bay area, prep yourself for some nasty weather next week. From the National Weather Service:
...COLDER WEATHER ARRIVES SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY WITH LOWERING SNOW LEVELS... ...WET AND WARMER WEATHER EXPECTED DURING THE MIDDLE AND END OF NEXT WEEK... A STRONG CANADIAN COLD FRONT WILL BRING THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON SO FAR TO THE BAY AREA AND CENTRAL COAST SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. ALTHOUGH INITIALLY DRY THE AIRMASS WILL BECOME UNSTABLE AND CAUSE SHOWERS TO DEVELOP ALONG WITH LOWERING SNOW LEVELS MONDAY. SNOW LEVELS WILL RANGE FROM 500 FEET OVER THE NORTH BAY TO 1500 FEET OVER THE CENTRAL COAST. LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE RAIN SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSHOWERS. IF SNOW ACCUMULATIONS IN THE HILLS AND MOUNTAINS BECOME SOMEWHAT GREATER THAN EXPECTED THEN A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED MONDAY. PLANS FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK SHOULD INCLUDE PROVIDING PROPER SHELTER FOR ANYONE OR ANYTHING SENSITIVE TO COLD...INCLUDING PETS. A STRONGER STORM WILL ARRIVE WEDNESDAY WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS. STORMY WEATHER CONDITIONS COULD LAST INTO THURSDAY. ADDITIONALLY EXPECT LARGE WAVES NEAR THE COAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. POTENTIAL IMPACTS FROM THESE STORMS INCLUDE: * URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING ALONG WITH POSSIBLE FLASH FLOODING. * HIGH WINDS THAT CAN DOWN TREES AND POWER LINES PRODUCING POWER OUTAGES. * HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS DUE TO VERY SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS. * DANGEROUS NEAR SHORE CONDITIONS DUE TO HIGH SURF FROM LARGE WAVES. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS DEVELOPING WEATHER SITUATION....
