0.4" yesterday. Mostly drizzled all day with a few short heavy bursts. I'm looking forward to some warmer, drier weather. Weather service indicates maybe into the '70s by next week.

No rain in the forecast until at least April Fools Day.
From SF Gate:
Northern portions of the Bay Area will likely be the hottest on Monday, with downtown Oakland expected to reach 80 degrees, Santa Rosa climbing to 87 degrees and San Francisco hitting 77 degrees downtown and around the upper 60s along the coastline.
Meteorologists are eyeing a potential atmospheric river that could sweep through the region at the end of the month.
“It’s pretty far out and we need to do some polishing on the forecast, but it’s rare for us to see some of these longer-term models show such a significant sign, A pretty narrow atmospheric river could try to push through and lead to significant rain.”

Bay Area to see record-breaking temps ahead of 'rare' mid-spring atmospheric river
"The Bay Area is in for another weather whiplash, with some cities likely to break record-high temperatures for the first time in nearly a century before an unsettled pattern takes hold, delivering scattered showers and the potential for an atmospheric river by the end of the month.Northern portions of the Bay Area will likely be the hottest on Monday, with downtown Oakland expected to reach 80 degrees, Santa Rosa climbing to 87 degrees and San Francisco hitting 77 degrees downtown and around the upper 60s along the coastline.

We're supposed to hit three digits by Tuesday, and might even happen tomorrow.
It *should* be in the high 70s or low 80s right now.

About 0.2" here today. A place a few miles away got 0.75", which is way more than the forecast.
It's going to rain for about a week, but the total won't be too much.

But radar echoes says nearly nothing out there:
I smell a skunk, or maybe just a drip or two.

La Niña event is expected to be short-lived
Forecasts from the WMO Global Producing Centres for Seasonal Prediction indicate that the current cooler than average sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific are expected to return to normal. There is a 60% probability that conditions will shift back to ENSO-neutral conditions...
