"We're starting to expect somewhere between one inch of rain and two inches of rain for the valleys,"
"As we go into the higher elevations, we start to see places where we get more to two inches of rain, particularly for the Santa Cruz Mountains, where we're expecting rain totals of around two to three inches of rain."
"Obviously, where we receive large amounts of moisture, that is going to considerably slow and lessen the chance of fire in those areas."
"I'd imagine that will pretty much put an end to at least any significant concern when it comes to the fires,"
The Bay Area is forecast to receive at least one inch of rain from Monday morning through Wednesday, with valley totals between one and two inches and higher elevations receiving more. The Santa Cruz Mountains could see two to three inches of rain. The storm is expected to substantially lower wildfire risk across much of the Bay Area and may help control or extinguish major remaining fires such as the Dillon and Blue fires in Siskiyou County, both managed by the U.S. Forest Service and at least 90% contained. The storm will not reach much of California, leaving some regions still exposed to fire risk.
