As a powerful Atmospheric River presses down, bringing heavy rainfall and raising fears of floods and other associated dangers, the Bay Area prepares for more weather effects. The North Bay was under a Flood Watch through Saturday morning, according to a report from the National Weather Service San Francisco. They provided a thorough overview of the upcoming weather conditions. From Wednesday through Sunday, the North Bay is expected to receive an incredible 5–12 inches of rain, while the San Francisco Bayshore and Pacific coast are among the places under a Wind Advisory, which also calls for winds of 45–50 mph.
In a social media post, the NWS Bay Area further highlighted the dire situation for the North Bay, warning of 10 to 15 inches of rain and an increased risk of flooding. The post also urged people to avoid areas that are prone to flooding. In the midst of this flood, the reality of what will happen over the next few days weighs heavily on communities that are still dealing with the memories of previous storms and the damage they have left on the land. Rainfall has been increasing gradually throughout the North Bay, according to a follow-up post from NWS Bay Area this morning. In just 12 hours, sections of Sonoma County have recorded up to 1 1/2 inches of precipitation, suggesting a trend of continuous and extended precipitation.
Through Friday, the effects will still be felt over the Central Coast and Bay Area. The North Bay is expected to receive the most rainfall, with 10 to 15 inches predicted. The risk of flooding will rise as a result. Avoid regions that are prone to flooding!#twitter.com/0C63i8RimG #cawxpic
According to NWS San Francisco’s analysis, rainfall is expected to extend beyond the North Bay and into the greater Bay Area. This prediction is supported by real-time observations and the fact that the city’s concrete arteries are not being shielded from the sky’s open veins as the atmospheric onslaught continues, as water rushes into gutters in an attempt to navigate the urban maze. Smaller creeks, streams, and cities are still susceptible to major effects from this occurrence, even though the great rivers should not overflow their banks due to their present capacity.
Even though the storm’s rage is gradually lessening, mariners are warned that the sea’s ferocity will not decrease until the weekend. The aviation industry is also feeling the brunt of the storm’s wrath as flights navigate windy conditions and canceled routes, airports anticipate travel problems, and the marine sphere finds itself at the mercy of the stormy seas with gales worthy of a sailor’s respect… conditions described as unpredictable and incredibly dangerous for all but the most robust vessels.
