"We get a day, maybe two for some areas, National Weather Service meteorologist Rachel Kennedy said. And it's gonna be pretty damp and cold. Then it will be back to the rain. Kennedy said a fourth system this one a bit different from the previous three but traveling a similar path from the north is set to arrive in the North Bay sometime about midday Saturday and is likely to spread through the region on Sunday."
"The stormy weather that's on deck will be created by certain elements that could turn the system into an atmospheric river, Kennedy said. As it descends from the north, the storm system will pull up moisture from a tropical system that's off the coast of Southern California. That rain will add to totals that have only grown bigger and bigger."
Three consecutive storm systems drenched the Bay Area and left scattered showers as they moved away. A short dry period of one to two days with damp, cold conditions is expected for parts of the region. A fourth storm arriving in the North Bay around midday Saturday and spreading Sunday will bring light to moderate rain Sunday and far heavier, widespread rain Monday into Tuesday. The Sierra Nevada will see heavy snow through Thursday afternoon and possibly late Thursday night, then a break until Sunday. Moisture from a tropical system offshore could turn the incoming system into an atmospheric river. Rain totals reached about 9 inches above 3,000 feet in the Santa Lucia Range and 5–7 inches at lower elevations.
