Strongest rain expected early Tuesday morning, with high winds, power outages
About 1 to 2 inches of rain is expected in cities around the Bay Area through Tuesday night, with 3 to 4 in the North Bay Hills and 4 to 6 inches in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch through Wednesday morning for most of Northern California. It also had in place a high wind warning through late Tuesday night, with gusts up to 40 mph expected across the Bay Area, and winds as high as 70 mph in the hills. “This is going to add stress to a very stressful situation,” Murdock said. It’s a lot of rain over not a whole lot of time.”
On Monday, the statewide Sierra snowpack was 215% of normal. Put another way, the Sierra, which provides nearly one-third of California’s water, has so far received two years’ worth of snow this winter, with more on the way. “People are definitely on edge,” Creegan said. “We have several roof collapses. Building inspectors are checking all over town.”
