At least "Harli & Bear" have each other for company on a wet and windy Tuesday — their outside time will probably be at a minimum. More wet weather in store later this week, but if you can offer them a warm & comfy home, details here:

A little break from the heaviest rain this evening, but widespread downpours return tonight and early Tuesday. These will be accompanied by 30-40mph wind gusts, so allow plenty of extra time for the morning commute!

An impressive band of moderate to heavy rain is soaking coastal Marin and Sonoma counties, but otherwise the heaviest rain is staying offshore.
The center of low pressure at the heart of this storm will actually drift westward tonight, which *should* pull the heavy rain with it.

Rain will continue off-and-on tonight and Wednesday, with stronger winds kicking in as well. Even the strongest winds will fall short of the threshold for a Wind Advisory, but keep both hands on the wheel!
