Midweek showers, dangerous waves ahead for Bay Area

A weak weather system is expected to bring light rain to parts of the Bay Area this week, along with hazardous beach conditions midweek, while winds remain mostly light, according to the National Weather Service.

In a briefing released on Monday morning, forecasters said weak offshore winds will continue through the middle of the week. A slight chance of rain is expected late Tuesday into Wednesday, with the best chance focused on the North Bay. Rainfall totals are expected to be very light, generally less than a tenth of an inch, though the Sonoma County coastal ranges could see up to about two-tenths of an inch.
