'Widespread' Rain Headed To Millbrae After Lingering Smoke: NWS

Though "dry, stagnant, hazy, and lingering smoke" is expected in the beginning of the week, the forecast calls for a major change.

SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA — As smoke continues to be present in the region, Bay Area residents can expect a bit of relief this week, weather forecasters say. Rain is expected to hit by early Wednesday.

"Dry, stagnant, hazy, and lingering smoke will continue [Monday] as high pressure gradually moves east," the NWS said in its forecast discussion. "A pattern change will develop by late Tuesday and widespread rainfall is likely early Wednesday, with showers possibly lingering through Wednesday night."

A second storm is then predicted to hit the area from late Thursday night into Friday morning.
