A wet and stormy week ahead
A low-pressure system is expected to move in overnight, bringing rain into the North Bay Tuesday morning and spreading into South County by the evening, according to the National Weather Service.

High temperatures are expected in the high-50s and low-60s throughout the week, with lows in the low- to mid-40s.
