"Late (Wednesday) we're going to see a return to the widespread showers, NWS meteorologist Rachel Kennedy said. The bulk of it will be overnight into the Thursday morning, and then they will get scattered again. We have probably a 10-15 percent chance of some lightning and thunder, particularly in the South Bay and the Central Coast. But it's not as much a certainty as the storm that came through Tuesday."
"The Santa Cruz Mountains have received the bulk of it. According to the weather service, rainfall totals in that area have ranged from 4 inches to 5 inches since Sunday. One exception was Aptos, which has received between 6 and 6 inches since the rain began falling, the weather service said. Elsewhere since Sunday, San Francisco has received 2.35 inches, San Francisco Airport and other areas of the Peninsula have received about 2.1 inches; San Francisco Airport and downtown Oakland have received about 2.1 inches, while Concord and San Jose each had about 1.8 inches."
Three successive storm systems affected the Bay Area and Sierra Nevada, bringing heavy rain, thunder, lightning and near white-out conditions. Rain fell intermittently since Sunday, with the Santa Cruz Mountains receiving 4 to 5 inches and Aptos reporting about 6 inches; San Francisco and peninsula areas received roughly 2.1–2.35 inches, while Concord and San Jose saw about 1.8 inches. The second storm produced intense thunder and bright lightning bolts and left isolated showers on Wednesday morning. A blizzard in the Sierra Nevada triggered an avalanche near Truckee that left nine skiers missing and resulted in six rescues. A third system will renew widespread showers overnight into Thursday.
