"Yet for the most part, an atmospheric river-fueled storm that leveled the Bay Area this week was over by Thursday morning, the National Weather Service said. And the region is likely to have at least a week to dry out before the next one. "There is a chance for some very light showers (Thursday)," NWS meteorologist Brayden Murdock said. "There is some moisture left over from the system, and that will make it's way out of the area. But while it does, there could be the occasional rain.""
"What won't be there are the gusty winds that blew in excess of 55 mph in some of the higher elevations - Gunsight Fire Road at 1,150-foot elevation mark in Marin County recorded 82 mph winds, the weather service said - and up to 45 mph in the central part of the region over the past two days. The weather service lifted a wind warning for the region at 4 p.m. Wednesday. The most rain fell in the North Bay and in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The weather service recorded official overall rain totals of 3.22 inches in Santa Rosa; 3.04 inches in Occidental, north of Santa Rosa; 2 inches at Ben Lomond and 1.52 inches on Mount Tamalpais."
An atmospheric river-fueled storm that drenched parts of the Bay Area subsided by Thursday morning, leaving the region with at least a week to dry out before the next storm. Sporadic, very light showers may continue as residual moisture exits the area. Gusty winds that reached as high as 82 mph at Gunsight Fire Road and up to 45 mph in central areas have abated and wind warnings were lifted Wednesday afternoon. Heaviest rainfall fell in the North Bay and Santa Cruz Mountains with totals including 3.22 inches in Santa Rosa and 3.04 inches in Occidental. Coastal hazards persist: king tides and waves averaging 15 feet, with some spots exceeding 20 feet, will push water onto shores and generate dangerous rip currents.
