Brian Garcia, an NWS meteorologist, noted that 'one of the problems, of course, for the first big rain of the season is when we get water on the roadways, it becomes very slick.'
Fresh off the hottest heat wave recorded this year, San Francisco is bracing for a weekend of wet weather.
Downtown San Francisco is expected to get an inch of rain, while the wettest parts of The City are predicted to get 1.5 inches of rain. Cal Fire officials have said that stronger winds from the incoming cold front could pose a threat to their efforts. Drivers are advised to drive slow and increase their following distance between vehicles. They are also encouraged to turn their windshield wipers and headlights on, making it easier for drivers and pedestrians alike to see them.
