"The National Weather Service in San Francisco has issued a Flood Watch for the North Bay that will remain in effect from Saturday afternoon through Monday afternoon. That wild, wet weather that people have been talking about for days is arriving in the Bay Area. An atmospheric river is set to soak the region. It's expected to dump several inches of water. However, the North Bay expects the bulk of the rain this weekend."
"The National Weather Service says back-to-back major storms could drop a month's worth of rain in San Francisco over a few days. The rain did not stop shoppers from grabbing a few last-minute Christmas presents at Santa Rosa Plaza. "It went well. Not too crazy in there right now," said Tawney Morales. Dylan Osley isn't letting an atmospheric river dampen the holiday spirit, but he said he's ready for the stormy weather. "We're stocked up on hot cocoa for the next week," Osley said."
An atmospheric river is forecast to bring several inches of rain to the Bay Area, with the North Bay receiving the heaviest totals. A Flood Watch is in effect from Saturday afternoon through Monday afternoon. Moderate to heavy rain and gusty winds are expected, which will cause creeks and rivers to rise significantly and increase flooding risk. Back-to-back major storms could deliver a month's worth of rain over a few days. Residents are preparing by clearing drains, using sandbags, and stocking supplies while some shoppers continue normal holiday activities despite the storm threat.
