"Oakland and the East Bay are in for heavy rain and damaging winds Wednesday night and into Thursday night, with up to 2.5 inches of rain expected along the San Pablo Ridge and wind gusts in excess of 40 miles per hour forecast around the eastern bayshore in the next 24 hours. The entire Bay Area and points beyond were scheduled for a wind advisory from 10 p.m. Wednesday until 4 p.m. Thursday,"
"Rain is most likely in Oakland after 10 p.m. Wednes, with thunderstorms most likely between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Thursday. Oakland, Berkeley, and the hillier, inland parts of both cities were forecast to get similar wind by heavier rain. The flatter neighborhoods closer to the San Francisco Bay are expected to get a quarter to half an inch of rain Wednesday night and up to another inch inch Thursday, with the rain petering out Thursday night, according to the National Weather Service."
Heavy rain and damaging southeast winds will affect Oakland and the East Bay Wednesday night into Thursday night, with localized totals up to 2.5 inches along the San Pablo Ridge and wind gusts above 40 mph near the eastern bayshore. A wind advisory runs from 10 p.m. Wednesday to 4 p.m. Thursday, with onshore southeast winds capable of dislodging tree limbs and power lines and making driving hazardous for high-profile vehicles. Inland areas will see weaker winds, but isolated to widespread power outages remain possible. Ground conditions are relatively stable, so widespread landslides are unlikely, and the rainfall should significantly lower autumn wildfire risk.
