The rain fell in parts of the Bay Area for the first time in almost six months Saturday – well at least a little bit. The national meteorological service reports that rain will be "more widespread" on Monday and Tuesday.

"The rain has returned to the region – at least along the Sonoma coast!" read a tweet from the National Weather Service Bay Area's Twitter account on Saturday afternoon.

The Bay Area agency office reported that 0.18 inches of rain at Sea Ranch and 0.21 inches of rain at Stewarts Point fell on Saturday morning in Sonoma County. They reported that, further inland in North Bay, people said they saw only a few hundredths of an inch of rain.

According to the NWS, more than a quarter of an inch fell around Mount Tamalpais to Marin. Point Reyes National Seashore has also reported rainfall, although the one who manages the park's Twitter account is incredulous. "It's really raining here, be safe on the road," reads a tweet on the park's Twitter account.


"It is certainly the time of year when we start making the transition since our dry season," said Roger Gass, Meteorologist at the National Meteorological Service, to Sarah Ravani of the Chronicle. He added that October and November is the time when the region begins to make the transition to a wetter climate.

Due to lack of rain in recent months, the Bay Area is considered "abnormally dry" by the US Drought Monitor since June 2018.
