The Bay Area is bracing for a storm arriving Monday evening, bringing heavy rain, strong winds and the possibility of flooding in some locations where rivers and creeks could rise over their banks.
A flood watch starts Monday night for the North Bay, downtown San Francisco and Santa Cruz mountains and northern Monterey Bay, according to the National Weather Service.
By Tuesday morning, excessive runoff could bring flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and to low-lying areas, the weather service said in an advisory.
In addition, a wind advisory was issued for Monday night into Tuesday morning for North Bay coastal areas and mountains, and for San Francisco, Peninsula communities, East Bay hills, and the Santa Cruz mountains.
The weather service also warned of hazardous beach conditions and issued a high surf advisory for the entire Bay Area coastline, Tuesday morning through Wednesday morning.
Gale warnings are also in effect for coastal waters and bays starting on Monday night.

…we need it – and the snow – bring it on….

I hope the weather front pummels the SF Bay Area… massive flooding, trees down, power outages, and non-injury crashes.

You have kept up with keeping your rain gutters clear, right?
Here we go!

Interesting that you’re fine with a storm bringing down trees, but you’re not fine with people cutting down Christmas trees on tree farms.
One is an act of nature, the other is not.

Note the irony:

“Let’s celebrate Christmas by killing a tree.”

Darrin Peck, meteorologist on channel 5 news is the very best at explaining our weather, the patterns ,how they work and what to expect.
You’re so right’ It’s an education on weather! He’s one of my favorites!
A younger family member worked w/ Peck at Channel 40 in Sacramento….. I’d watch Mornings on 40…
Peck left for a short time for a gig in Seattle …. Was glad to see him back… Seems a good fit for Channel 5
A hot cup of coffee on a rainy morn…. I’m ok with that…
Can we still use our fireplace and burn the cord of wood?
It’s going on right now. I’m from the Midwest. This is really amateur hour actually. There’s never any real weather here.
We never have winter weather here
