Heavy rain on tap for entire Bay Area, as new system pushes atmospheric river south

Those people who have been watching the North Bay get slammed are going to be the ones who feel it (Friday). NWS meteorologist Dylan Flynn said early Friday.

In Sonoma County, Santa Rosa has been hit particularly hard. The city received more than 7 inches of rain Wednesday and has totaled 9.6 inches over a 48-hour period.

Another half-inch of rain should happen easily, he said would give the city its highest three-day total of rain for any three days on the calendar since records began being kept in 1902.

Flood warnings remained in effect Friday morning in most areas of the North Bay as the storm moves south, impacting the entire Bay Area.
