Rain is headed for the Bay Area to spoil outdoor plans this weekend.

The National Weather Service is forecasting for wet weather to arrive in the region overnight, with most of the Bay Area seeing rain by mid-morning Saturday along with breezy conditions of 25-35 mph winds.

Higher elevations could see more than an inch of rain over the course of Saturday, with lower elevations getting up to three-quarters of an inch, according to the weather service.

As a result, many events planned around the Bay Area have had to be canceled or rescheduled to avoid the wet weather.

Forecasters say there is also a slight chance for isolated thunderstorms and hail into Saturday evening, then dry weather will return Sunday though with temperatures more than 10 degrees cooler than they have been for much of this week.

According to the weather service, a warming trend is on track through the end of next week.
