"Clouds were growing darker across the Bay Area on Sunday morning as the first of three back-to-back rain storms landed in the region, which are expected to bring several inches of rain from San Jose to the North Bay in rainy days that could last through next Sunday. The rainfall was expected to intensify in the late afternoon Sunday and into the night as the first storm arrives from the Gulf of Alaska, said Roger Gass, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service."
"The first Bay Area storm, which is forecast to last through Monday evening, will bring about 1 to 2 inches of rain across the region, with some higher elevation areas such as the Santa Cruz Mountains expected to receive upwards of 4 inches, Gass said. San Jose, Concord and San Francisco will see between 1 and 2 inches of precipitation. Oakland will see up to 1 to 2 inches."
"The subsequent systems are a little bit less rainfall, but maybe some stronger winds with the Monday night into Tuesday system, Gass said. Those winds are forecast to range from 35 to 45 miles per hour, with higher elevations potentially seeing speeds up to 55 miles per hour, he said. The first storm system will bring with it high temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to low 60s across the region Sunday, which will then remain in the mid-50s Monday, Gass added."
Three consecutive storms will affect the Bay Area through next Sunday, bringing several inches of rain from San Jose to the North Bay and several feet of snow to Lake Tahoe. The first storm arrives from the Gulf of Alaska and is expected to produce 1 to 2 inches of rain regionwide, with up to 4 inches in higher elevations such as the Santa Cruz Mountains. San Jose, Concord, San Francisco and Oakland will receive roughly 1 to 2 inches. Additional systems Tuesday and Wednesday may bring high-elevation snowfall, while a Monday-night/Tuesday system could produce winds of 35–45 mph, up to 55 mph aloft, and temperatures will cool later in the week.
