INTO SAN FRANCISCO BY MID MORNING...THEN CONTINUE INTO THE
MONTEREY BAY AREA BY EARLY AFTERNOON. MODERATE RAINFALL...WHICH
COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES...WILL IMPACT THE DISTRICT WITH URBAN
FLOODING AND PONDING ON THE ROADWAYS POSSIBLE. BREEZY TO LOCALLY
WINDY CONDITIONS WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE RAINFALL. RAIN WILL
CHANGE TO SHOWERS BEHIND THE FRONT WITH THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE
SUNDAY EVENING. SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF SUNDAY NIGHT WITH A FEW
