Bay Area May Be All But Done With Rain Until Fall

The time to put away the umbrella may have arrived. After a seven-month stretch that set rainfall records in some parts of Northern California, what could be the last rainfall of the season will brush the Bay Area on Wednesday. It will probably be limited to the North Bay, and even there, it doesn’t look to be heavy, said Bob Benjamin, a forecaster with the National Weather Service. “It’s going to be extremely light — maybe a tenth of an inch in northern Sonoma County,” Benjamin said. After that, chances are it’s warmer and dry until October or so.
