Widespread rain is expected to return to the Bay Area next week, with up to 4 inches of rainfall possible in some higher elevations Monday and Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather service said the storm is a “weak to potentially moderate atmospheric river” that will be preceded by wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph.
Forecasters expect the rain to arrive in the Bay Area around midday Monday, with the North Bay mountains and Santa Cruz Mountains likely to see the most precipitation. Those areas could see 2-4 inches, according to the weather service.
The rain from this system “looks to be mostly beneficial with limited threat of widespread flooding concerns,” the weather service said in the briefing.

I’m waiting for the word “crisis” to describe this typical climate pattern.

Alas, it appears that you might be waiting for a while….
“Atmospheric River” huh?
Sounds pretty menacing/ominous alright.
Thinking back to High School in the ‘70’s they
told us that a 2nd Ice Age was coming and that swarms
of Killer Bees would be descending upon us.
I guess it always something.
@DD…..They also told us that smoking weed would make boy’s boobs grow big…..50 years later and I’m still in a trainer bra.
Better a little water , then a rain of government tyranny.
