The Sierra Nevada snowpack is forecast to grow by several feet by Friday and high winds in the Bay Area are expected to return with even stronger gusts on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
Winds are forecast to be between 20 to 30 mph with gusts as high as 45 mph Thursday afternoon, and lower elevations around the Bay Area and Central Coast should see showers with possible thunderstorms into Thursday. Most areas should receive somewhere in the range of half an inch to 1.5 inches of rain, with up to 2.5 inches in mountain areas.
Sub-freezing temperatures are expected in interior valleys and mountain areas, with a freeze warning in effect from early Thursday morning until 9 a.m.
“We have an anomalously cold storm system that’s moving into California, so that really cold air is what’s making this storm system more dynamic than other winter storms we’ve had,” said Brooke Bingaman, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
Bingaman said the main concern for the area was the high winds, which she said could dislodge trees already vulnerable from soil erosion from previous winter storms.
