"After nearly 30 days in a row of dry conditions across much of the Bay Area, winter finally began to show up on Friday, bringing steady rain that is expected to continue every day until Christmas. A series of storms will soak the region Saturday and Sunday, forecasters said, easing up a bit Monday and then dumping more rain Tuesday through Christmas Day on Thursday."
"In many areas, the storm will deliver a month's worth of rain the December historical average in a week. We're going from the storm door being locked to it being wide open, said Jan Null, a meteorologist with Golden Gate Weather Services in Half Moon Bay. The storms are expected to slow travel, particularly on Wednesday, when 1-2 feet of snow is forecast to fall in the Lake Tahoe region and other parts of the Sierra Nevada."
After nearly 30 consecutive dry days, steady rain began Friday and will continue daily through Christmas across much of the Bay Area. The storms arrive in three waves: light sprinkles Friday night to Saturday morning; steady rain Saturday afternoon to Tuesday morning with 1 to 2 inches in many cities; and a larger event Tuesday afternoon through next Friday morning with 2 to 4 inches. Many Bay Area cities should receive about 5 inches by next Friday, with parts of the North Bay and Santa Cruz Mountains receiving roughly double. Atmospheric rivers will drive the pattern and heavy Sierra snow (1–2 feet) may slow travel.
