"Berkeley and the East Bay are in for heavy rain and damaging winds Wednesday night and into Thursday night, with up to 2.5 inches of rain expected along the San Pablo Ridge and wind gusts in excess of 40 mph forecast around the eastern bayshore in the next 24 hours. The entire Bay Area and points beyond were scheduled for a wind advisory from 10 p.m. Wednesday until 10 a.m. Thursday, with onshore winds out of the southeast threatening to dislodge tree limbs and power lines."
"As far as the rain goes, we aren't quite at the point where we're expecting widespread landslides or anything like that, we really haven't had enough rain this season so the ground is pretty stable, Gass said. And on top of that, this new rain, along with moisture from last month, will help significantly lower the wildfire risk the region grapples with in the autumn. In Berkeley and Oakland the hillier, inland parts of both cities were forecast to get heavier rain but mostly similar wind."
