As the atmospheric river storm makes its way through California, it has already dumped over 6 inches of rain in some areas and generated a significant flood watch for several counties, illustrating the intense impact of this winter system.
Despite the heavy rains in the North Bay regions, the southern areas of the Bay, including San Francisco and Oakland, experienced only light sprinkles, highlighting the uneven distribution of rainfall brought by this storm.
Meteorologists predict that San Francisco will receive 2 to 3 inches, while regions like San Jose and Santa Cruz are expecting only 1 to 1.5 inches, indicating a shift in rainfall distribution as the storm progresses.
The storm system, driven by a bomb cyclone, is one of the most significant to affect the region in about nine months, with expectations for substantial snow accumulation in the Sierra Nevada as ski season approaches.
