Sunday's atmospheric river:
- Rainfall totals will actually be highest on the Peninsula/Santa Cruz Mountains, closest to the axis of heaviest rain in Central CA.
- The Santa Cruz Mountains will take the brunt of this storm with 60 mph wind gusts, up to 8" of rain.
- I would expect the worst storm damage to be along the Peninsula Coast/Santa Cruz Mountains
- 1"-3" of rain for most cities, but not out of the question to see some cities approach 4" Sunday
- Flood Watches are posted for the entire Bay Area. Flooded roads, streams, creeks, landslides are all possible Sunday morning.
- High winds will also be a problem. Gusts 50-60 mph which would bring trees down, power outages.
- Heavy snow in the Sierra Sunday into Monday with 2-4 feet of new snow
